Back to the future 2 (NES)
Never played it, but in the movie they go to the year 2015, and there are supposed to be flying cars and other wierd stuff like, in resturants, the waiters are televisions and arcade games like Wild Gunman are "Baby's toys cause you use your hands to play them"
The game SHOULD go by the same path...
Welp, on June 6th, 1996, the Lucifer Alpha virus was released in Snatcher... wiping out a third of the population of earth.
We still got a while to see if Snatchers start showing up in 2048

Yeah, I've always thought that "...X" thing was odd. Bionic Commando I believe was 199X.Originally Posted by diskoboy
Re: Games set in future when made, that now would be in the
One of the levels in Soukyugurentai takes place on a September 11, but many years into the future.Master of Weapon gives a date of "September 11th, 199x." One of those really freaky coincidences - plus you can shoot down buildings and stuff.It seems a lot of shooters give dates like this, for example, take Konami's Airforce Delta Storm.
I 'm glad Crystalis was mentioned...it was my first thought too. God, I remember when I thought that 1997 was WAY too far into the future....like there's no way it would ever come....like doomsday really would be here before 1997 was!
But anyway, we are creeping up on Street Fighter 2010: The Final Fight. BTW, many folks can't get past level 3 and dropped this game. If you make it past there, the game becomes a hell of a lot of fun!! Seriously, try this game, it's WAY better than you think. While Ken from the SF series is in it, it has NOTHING to do with Street Fighter, but it is one of those cool post-apocolyptic-looking NES games. Hell, the character has basically no resemblance to Ken, but 20 years does age a man, heh heh.

The moral is, don't **** with Uncle Tim when he's been drinking!
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesnt that game also claim that Ken and not Ryu was the winner of the original tournament? I think it does. Who dropped the ball on that one?I 'm glad Crystalis was mentioned...it was my first thought too.

Shadowdancer was awesome. I miss that game =(
See my feedback here: http://www.digitpress.com/forum/view...=ahamilton0953
Another one...
According to the back of its box, the little known NES Konami game "Lazer Invasion" is set in summer 1999.
Yeah I luved Shadow Dancer on Genesis it was better than the arcade version.
I still play it on EMU from time to time

Did somebody say Shadow Dancer?
I like the arcade game a lot too, though. More going on graphically.
I finally opened, played, & finished Extermination (PS2) a couple weeks ago, & the events take place at a research facility in Antarctica just this past Xmas of 2005.
Eerie.
"The big things that...nerds like to argue about might not actually matter that much."
I can't think of any video games that haven't already been mentioned, but Transformers: The Movie takes place in the far-off time of 2005. I hadn't watched it in a couple years and my boyfriend had never seen it and since he could not miss the 90 minutes of 80s cheesiness that is just so great, I brought it over last week. It's just so silly sitting in 2006, watching a "futuristic" movie that's opening line is, "it is the year 2005..."
So apparently, last year we should've had giant talking robots that could morph into vehicles, electronics and weapons, a huge space war between good and evil, and a giant robot planet that was devouring whole planets through what looked like an anus. When did that happen? I missed it. It might've been when I went to Jersey...
The BEST part of Transformers: The Movie though is the random voice actors: Judd Nelson, Leonard Nimoy, Robert Stack, Eric Idle, and ORSON WELLES? And what makes me laugh harder was Orson Welles was Unicron, an enormous, fat, round, planet-sized bot that was devouring everything. And if all the jokes on the Critic (man I miss that cartoon) are true, wasn't Orson Welles quite large in his final years? I also love how Eric Idle (of Monty Python fame in case you don't know, and if you don't know than you need to know) gets first billing in the opening credits but he has the smallest role out of the entire cast. (albeit the funniest) Casey Kasem is randomly in that movie too. Zoinks! And the soundtrack - SOOOOOOOOOO 80s!!!
You've got the touch! You've got the power!
My friend Chris is soo into Transformers, and he actually has the soundtrack and has played it in the car before (he's also custom-made his own Legend of Zelda and Mega Man soundtracks. Nothing like cruisin' I-93 listening to Mega Man music...)
So, yeah, now Transformers: The Movie takes place in the past instead of the future. But I guess a LOT of movies are outdated now.
This thread's also got me reminded of a comment I made the other day: What are people in the 23rd and 24th centuries gonna think of Star Trek? I wish I could be alive to see their reaction.

How about Tempest 2000, Defender 2000, Breakout 2000, and Battlezone 2000?
We're creeping up on Robotron:2084--78 years to go!
Anyone remember what year Tombstone City was set in?

Snatcher, takes places in 1991 on computers and 1996 on Sega CD. Robots who take people's bodies in 1996? Was Bill Clinton...
Oh, and I shall finish this whole Mega man debate right now :
Taken from MMHP:
The timeline for the series and its spinoffs is somewhat complicated. According to Rockman Perfect Memories:
* Mega Man Classic takes place from 200X to 20XX,
* Mega Man X begins from 21XX to possibly 22XX afterwards,
* Mega Man Zero is set an additional century after the X series ends, and
* Mega Man Legends takes place several thousand years after the Zero series but the exact time is unknown.
Megaaaaaaaa!
CV Time Pilot.
It was a 1983 game. As I recall, the Jet Fighter screen was set in 1985.
A bit off topic, but...
Casey Kasem isn't randomly in the movie. He played the voice of Cliffjumper in the television cartoons (among others) and logically would also be that voice in the movie. He's done quite a lot of voice acting for cartoons. Shaggy from Scooby Doo as you alluded to and Robin in Superfriends.
Yeah, I love the remix of the Transformers theme.
