== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In ''[[Fist of the North Star]]'', which was originally published in ''Weekly Shonen Jump'' during the [[The Eighties|1980s]], [[After the End|the war which destroyed the world]] took place in [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future|199X]] and the term ''Seikimatsu'' ("End of the Century") is used to refer to the era the story takes place. Many spin-offs, remakes and video game adaptations have been produced in the years since the original manga ended way into the 21st century. The nuclear holocaust still took place in 199X in all of these spin-offs and Kenshiro still retains his title as the "Savior of Century's End".

** ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' came out in 1998, but the game itself takes place in 2005 (six years after ''Metal Gear 2''), and has such glaringly outdated things such as the use of the term "Japanimation" instead of anime.
** ''[[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]]'' came out in 2001 and took place in 2007 and 2009. The demo version that came with the original ''[[Zone of the Enders]]'' even had the Twin Towers in the background, which was almost kept in the final game until the unfortunate timing of the 9/11 attacks.
