I was conversating with my friend when we came across how important the year 200X was to video game legend. Many NES/Genesis games set their dystopian future in 200X. We could nail down Megaman, Low G man and I am certain that Contra 3 the Alien Wars and F Zero occurred in 200X since it will be 200X in almost exactly 24 hours (east Coast Time USA) i was wondering if anyone had other 200X (2000 X=Roman Numeral for ten) games.
ITS ALMOST 200X
I'm pretty sure we're almost out of the 200Xs. Quick people, realize your dreams while you still can!
ok japan make it happen make a real megaman. Just borrow that money nintendo made off wii and you'll get enough money.
Heck I thought the X was just a stylistic approach to another 0." I always thought that the X was just like (insert number here). Just a variable. "
If you're going by X meaning ten then that would make the year 20010, which is pretty fucking far off. This thread is worse than my chocobo thread.
"INDEED!The X in dates such as 200X is used to denote an unspecified digit, not to represent the number ten. Even if it did represent the number ten surely the whole year wouldn't be 2010, it would be 20010.
"
I have seen 20XX in a lot of games, but that of course goes all the way up to 2099, which means there is the possibility of a lot of far fetched ideas happening =/
IN THE YEAR 20XX...

I love GB because 1/2 of people went with my wacky rant and the other 1/2 corrected my slipshod mathematics.
