No franchise older than you

Well Donkey Kong and the original mario (jumpman) were from 81 and pacman from 80 so i would miss out on those. Everything after that i'd still be able to enjoy.

Jumpman?  Wasn't that a game on the PCJr where you were chased by dots?  Mario was never Jumpman, though Super Mario BRros (I know, wasn't his first appearance) was built on the idea "jumping is fun."

And yeah, my gaming habits wouldn't change much since I'm 1981.

That was the first way of calling of Mario when he was the character in Donkey Kong "Jumpman", then Miyamoto was going to name him "Mr. Video" but Nintendo of America came with the name "Mario" after Mario Segale, their warehouse landlord...

I was thinking about it, and the only franchise from before i was born (1st gen and part of 2nd gen) that i would miss is Pac-Man...
