Well KF, I noticed your little timelines and decided to come up with one of them on my own.
It's for the popular Konami vampire-killin' platformer series, "Castlevania".

Well, the only time the year of a Castlevania game is explicitly mentioned is at the beginning of Symphony Of The Night, "journey back to 1792 and the Romanian province of Transylvania."
Yet, this is a reference to when DRACULA X happened, because that is the game which SotN is the direct direct sequel to, because we play the end of Dracula X at the beginning of the SotN CD.
So, SotN was 1796, it takes place four years after.

I think Castlevania Bloodlines for the Genesis used 1917, but I'm not sure.

Using 1792, and the typical "he comes back every 100 years" Konami storyline, we can come up with a timeline, also using the little extra storyline blurbs. (i.e., we know Castlevania III is before Castlevania I, or how Symphony Of The Night is four years after Dracula X)

Keep in mind, Castlevania IV is a remake of the original Castlevania.

Castlevania III: Dracula's Quest - 1492

Castlevania IV/Castlevania - 1592

Castlevania II: Simon's Quest - 1599

Castelvania: Bloodlines - 1692

Dracula X: Rondo Of The Blood - 1792

Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night - 1796

Castlevania (N64) - 1892

Any disputes? Castlevania: Bloodlines could have been 1917 but that was a long time ago I read the review of that one.
It's Konami's fault for being inconsistent, anyway.
Hmmm, what if we have to use the "100 years" thing to happen, RIGHT after every time Dracula is destroyed and discounting the "it was just an accident he came back" thing?
It'd look something like this, again basing it on 1792.

Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse - 1485 ("in the 15th century Dracula used sorcery to create a bad world full of evil", ahahaha)

Castlevania/Castlevania IV - 1585

Castlevania II: Simon's Quest - 1592

Castlevania: Bloodlines - 1692

Dracula X: Rondo Of The Blood - 1792

Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night - 1796

Castlevania (N64) - 1896

Castlevania, the next incarnation - 1996???
