Actually, anybody at least 25 years old is pretty much safe going by the OP's proposition. But if you're 20 or less you'd be kinda screwed, but there are lots of franchises from the mid 90s and 2000s, and more keep coming. But there are so many franchises that started long ago you wouldn't believe all the games you'll be missing, it would surprise you. Like Madden NFL which started back in 1988. Mega Man, Ninja Gaiden, Castlevania, Contra, Metal Gear, Bionic Commando, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Super Mario, Zelda, Metroid (all of the still major Nintendo series), Street Fighter (1987), Prince of Pesia (1989)...It would suck not to have some of those games. But not me :P I'm an old fart, and I couldn't care less for PONG!
