    Good question. According to Star Wars Timeline Gold, one can conceivably place the events of A New Hope in the year 1798 AD, based on the events of the Star Wars Tales comic "Into The Great Unknown." I extrapolated everything else from that.

    it's worth noting that EA sports games' titles are usually a year ahead of the actual sports world. So the football season depicted in madden 10 actually took place (mostly) in 2009, and so on.

    According to the Command & Conquer Wiki, Tiberian Dawn takes place from 1999 to 2002. But thanks for the Tiberian Sun tip.

    A list of the EA Sports titles would be appreciated so I can change my list accordingly.

    In his prior thread here he said he didn't like those for some arbitrary reason. Personally I think they belong in a separate list - any game that dates itself, even if unmeasurable on the BC-AD scale, ought to be a part of this.

    I mean you're grasping at straws anyway, using comics and vague developer references as canon.

    Are you sure you have every Star Wars game ever made? What about NES or Atari (if one was made)? I know there was a Japanese NES one where Darth Vader turned into a scorpion for some reason.

    Thanks for the Heavy Rain tip. By popular demand, fine, I will include 199X for EarthBound. If you've got games dated for 20XX, let me know.

    And yes, that is every Star Wars game.

    Also, while you have the entries set up already to account for multiple years, maybe another way to do it would be to have only one entry for the "main" or "start" year of the game, and then in brackets next to it, show the span of time, or multiple times visited in the game.

    So, as an example, Chrono Trigger could be under "1000 A.D.", but then be labeled as "Chrono Trigger [65,000,000,000 B.C.; 12,000 B.C.; 600 A.D.; 1000 A.D.; 1999 A.D.; 2300 A.D.]." Then something like Persona 3 could be [2009-2010]. So semicolons to separate distinct periods if we don't travel "between" them, and dash marks to show us moving from one time to another without significant jumps.

    Good idea... I'll work it out tomorrow.

    The dates for games that span more than a year have been reformatted up until the 20th century. More later.

    What is your stance on fan games or unlicensed knockoffs? Is the criteria that the company must have had salaried staff at some point?

    Are they supposed to be in chronological order within each year? Because Riven occurs just after Myst.

    Yeah, my list is a little... inconsistent in that regard. I'll flip Riven after Myst.

    Also, thanks for the MediEvil tip.

    Thanks for the tip. Also added the related Interstate '76 series. And the timeline has been completely converted to the new bracket format.

    Doesn't Parasite Eve have a Christmas ornament in the opening fmv that says "XMAS '08" or something?

    In the last timeline thread, I managed to calculate the years for Ninja Gaiden, Dead or Alive (one through four), and the Hitman games.

    I guess I'll try and find them again. :(

    I noticed Braid is wrong, in that there's no way of knowing when it takes place.

    Even then, it's well past 1945, since one of the paintings had a modern jet in it.

    He's reaching 1945 because of the alternate ending, which has Tim splitting the atom. From what I understand, at any rate.

    Yeah, that's what I figured.

    I just figured my provided reason is better than starting the argument that the common interpretation of the ending of Braid is based entirely on a guy making stuff up and posting it to GameFAQs :)
    The alternate ending is Tim capturing the Princess and creating a time paradox.
