Line 281:
** ''[[Mega Man Battle Network]]'' also takes place in 20XX, but in an explicit [[Alternate Universe]] (the point of divergence is a grant going to fund Dr. Light's network technology, rather than Dr. Wily's robots).
** ''[[The Protomen]]'', a [[Rock Opera]] [[In Name Only|very loosely based]] on the Mega Man mythology, is similarly set in the year 200X.
* Each game in the ''[[Metal Gear]]'' series (with the exception of prequels) is set nearly a decade after the ones when they were released: the first ''Metal Gear'', originally released in 1987, is set in the placeholder date of 199X (later established to be 1995 or '96, depending on the source), ''Metal Gear 2'', released in 1990, is set in 1999; ''Metal Gear Solid'', released in 1998, is set in 2005; ''[[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]]'', released in 2001; is set in 2007 and '09; and ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]]'', released in 2008, is set in 2014.
** In Kojima's earlier game, ''[[Snatcher]]'', the [[After the End|Catastrophe]] (an event which results in [[Depopulation Bomb|the deaths of 80% of the Eurasian population]]) occurs on June 6, 1991 in the Japanese versions (the first versions of the game were released for Japanese computers in 1988). Changed to 1996 (convenient due to the presence of a [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|third 6 in its date]]) in the English Sega CD version released in 1994.
** ''[[Policenauts]]'', the [[Spiritual Successor]] to ''Snatcher'' originally released in 1994, states that mankind's first fully functional space colony would be launched in 2010.
