wouldnt really care tbh

 

I play very few franchises that were created befor 1991

Around the Network

Most every game I ever play would still exist.



I'd miss out on at least half of favorite games. No Final Fantasy, earthbound, phantasy star, Mario, etc. I'd be sad.

Let's say that tomorrow you wake up.  Every franchise that started before the day you were born no longer exists.  This includes spinoffs (i.e. Mario Kart started in '92 but Super Mario started in '85 so both would no longer exist if you born before '85.)

What would you be playing now?

Kinda hard to explain but I hope there's no confusion.  Feel free to ask questions.

Mario started in 83 (81 if you want to follow the Donkey Kong lineage, but then he was called jumpman not Mario)




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

well, I'd lose Mario, Donkey Kong, but I can't think of much that I play that was actually created before I was born. It would really suck, but I'd still have a huge collection of Nintendo games to choose from and pretty much everything from the PS and X360 collections.

I was born when Atari ruled the VG industry, so i can play everything except 1st gen games and some of the 2nd gen...

I can live with that, now take the 3rd gen away from me and we have a problem XD XD XD...

In what year were videogames born?

About 1947, if you can call those games though.



What can I say, it makes me laugh.

As I was born at the end of the 70s I'd play everything I play today.

This, except that I would lose my beloved Metal Gear & FF.   :(
