We've been there. I asked for Shadow Warrior as a kid and got Shadow Man. Couldn't even run the game so all I got was actually a neat box and manual.

I shouldn't have gotten either game, TBF, but parents didn't care.

I don't like old video games, but my partner does, and that's why I know that Altered Beast is about an undead that turns into a werewolf. That's love. Putting up with your family's weird obsessions because you love to hear them care about something.

I think parents who won't listen to their kids about their interests, even when it's a financial decision, don't love their kids enough.

I learned that years later. Though I never bothered to play Shadow Warrior, only the remake/reboot.
