Play Russian Roulette With Your Pocket PC

"You would like playing hazardous games? You heard about Russian Roulette? This game is famous all over the world. And now you can play this game and see how lucky you are."
8O So here is the story. You play Russian roulette by selecting your preferred level of destruction (soft reset or hard reset) and take your chance that you'll either come out OK or you'll be restoring a backup (For the truly brave: erase your backup files first). With an asking price of $17.99 and no trial, you really have to be masochistic or a bona-fide risk taker to buy this. It just so happens that I'm working heavily with risk & decision making right now at work, so playing this game struck me as a very interesting psychological choice that apparently already one person has made this week. I hope that brave person didn't regret their Handango purchase!
