Supposing the game was launched in 2003, this gives us 2003 - 14 = 1989, as the supposed date; however, due to the fact that there was a year's time between the coma induction and the mention of "fourteen years later," it is possible that the pair married in even late '87 and formed the company in '87 depending on the possible stretch of time)<br />
