Hello and greetings from Sweden!
Hello everybody. My name is Jonatan, i am 17 and i am currently studiying economics.
I was born and raised in Sweden, and i grew up playing the Pokemon games on Gameboy. And i had an N64 as my first console. So i have always been a fan of Nintendo.
I got into NES collecting when i read about the history of games. It was so intresting to read about things like Nintendo World Championships and how gaming culture was in the 80's. I devloped a greater intrest for the NES and i started reading about collecting and what some of the most rare games were. I got intrested in why they were rare and how many copies was made etc.
My intrest for the NES made me get a console and some games of myown. My first games i got were, Super Mario Bros, Mega Man, Rad Racer, Duck Tales and Zelda. I loved the games and my PS3 started to collect dust as i favored the NES from there on.
I only collected loose carts first, but i decided to collect complete games instead because i enjoy putting them on my shelf and looking at them, it somehow feels better to have a "home" for the carts.
Today my goal is to have a complete PAL-B collection and i quickly realized how difficult it is. But also very fun.
My favourite games are Bubble Bobble, Rodland and Super Mario Bros.
That's all for now and i hope i will be accepted into this great community of collectors and gamers
