Under current copyright law in the USA, we're talking about Super Mario Bros becoming public domain around 2075. A number of games will no doubt remain known, one way or another, much like some very old movies remain interesting and known, but a good portion will fall into the bin of "meh, who cares". I mean, a huge number of games are already almost entirely forgotten.
Even Pong won't be public domain until 2067. Our copyright laws are horseshit.
