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.

Yes there was a totally seperate game called jumpman that had nothing to do with mario but the original mario from the 1981 version of donkey kong was called jumpman also.  Google it if you don't believe me but i thought it was pretty common knowledge.
