Sup fellas, I'm GamePepper and I hail from Finland. I haven't actually started collecting games yet, and haven't ever owned a NES or any console that would be considered retro because, awkwardly, I was born in the late 90s.

Oh well, I sold my PS3, and will buy a NES soon. Aside the console (which comes with 2 controllers, zapper, SMB/Duck Hunt, Tetris, Silent Service and Soccer) I'll probably buy a NES Advantage controller, Legend of Zelda, a box for Super Mario Bros and SMB3.
Don't bother offering me retro stuff because I can't likely afford it, thanks to shipping and other stuff that makes ordering from USA to Europe rather expensive for me.

Please, just call me GamePepper or Pepper because I hate my first name deeply.

Well, pretty much Angry Video Game Nerd, Nintendo Power and something I don't remember inspired me to start collecting NES games.
I did grow up mostly playing on a crappy computer, and it couldn't run anything 3D so I mostly played NES games on some online emulator site. Nowadays if I even play on an emulator, it feels rather "crude." My brother and few friends just insisted that I should get a joystick, use a TV as a computer screen or something to get the retro feeling but that isn't how you do it.
You're play it from a sofa, bed, armchair or whatever with the console in front of you, not on a computer

Because there are no ways for me to get money quickly, my NES collection will expand rather slowly and on top of that, I have to buy a new bass guitar. That just sucks.

Oh, and I don't think I'll be very active here until I get my NES and my games. It'll take 2 weeks maximum.

I'm thinking about buying these for my first batch of NES collection:
- 1x NES (comes with 2 controllers, Zapper, SMB/Duck Hunt, Tetris, Silent Service and Soccer)
- 1x NES Advantage controller
- Super Mario Bros (box and manual only, for the SMB/Duck Hunt)
- Super Mario Bros 3 (CIB)
- Legend of Zelda (Loose, the common gold cartridge)

I was originally thinking about buying every Super Mario Bros for NES, CIB but I swapped SMB2 for Zelda.
Zelda was not as abundant as SMB2 in the web shop I use.
Currently, I'm aiming to have a copy of every NES game released in Sweden and Finland.
