Gaming by Year

Video games set in each specific year, fantastical or not.

I'm working on adding games, so if you know of any that I'm missing feel free to leave it in the comments!

Yeah I originally conceived this list as one game for every year, and only games that take place within a single year. When there's more than one for a year it's pretty subjective which one I pick, I try to choose the one that I think best represents that particular year.

Appreciate the suggestions and I'll definitely add in the ones that fit!

Love this list, it's such a cool idea.

I would add a Warhammer 40K game just to have 41st millennium on the list, would be fun.

Got a new one for you; Obsidian, the 1997 adventure game, takes place in 2066.
