* ''[[Andromeda]]'' measures years in Commonwealth Years, which starts with the beginning of the Vedran Empire, making time in the series very non-specific. However, [[All There in the Manual|extended material]] gives the Commonwealth date for when Friedrich Nietzsche published "Thus Spake Zarathustra", a definite date in our time system, so assuming they use the same years as we do (years based on the cycle of Tarn Vedra rather than Earth, though the difference can't be too much), it creates a good guess of the timeline of the series.
* The [https://web.archive.org/web/20131023052513/http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Timeline_(RDM) Battlestar Wiki Timeline] measures time from the Cylon holocaust depicted in the ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined]]'' miniseries. The in-universe calendar is only referred to once, in the season 3 episode "Hero", where readable text in a printed copy of Adama's dossier indicates that the 'present day' of that episode is the Colonial year 21356, {{spoiler|somewhere around the year 148000 B.C.}}
* The current year is never mentioned in any season of ''[[24]]'', but the amount of time between days (16 months between Day 1 and 2, three years between Day 2 and 3, etc) is always established and can be used to determine how many years it has been since Day 1. In addition, fans have used various clues to formulate the following timeline:
** Day 1: Tuesday, March 2, 2004

* ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' has the Shinra Company setting the year zero of its new era at the end of the Wutai War, six years before the start of the game. While not very important in the original game, games set in the prequel portion of the Compilation often make note of the date.
* ''[[Fire Emblem Tellius|Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance]]'' and it's sequel, ''[[Fire Emblem Tellius|Radiant Dawn]]'' did this a little differently. There is a year 0, but there are years ''before'' that are listed as negative. [https://web.archive.org/web/20130118075058/http://serenesforest.net/general/timeline10.html Year -155 is the earliest.]
* ''[[The Elder Scrolls]]'' universe has several Year Zeros, at the beginning of every new 'era'. It's common practice to put the era before the year when announcing a date, for example "Third Era, Year 433". The first four games take place in the 5th century of the third era (roughly - ''Arena'' covers the last year of the 4th century), and ''Skyrim'' takes place in the third century of the fourth era.
* ''[[Final Fantasy XIII-2]]'' dates things from {{spoiler|the fall of Cocoon}} at the end of ''[[Final Fantasy XIII]]''.
