Lunar is a good retro-alternate future history of the 1970s/80s space race gone hot. I go even more retro with Lunar, setting it in the late 60s as envisioned c.1960 using MPC plastic toy astronauts and a pre-Apollo Big Gemini concept lunar lander.

Steampunk, or VSF, is also retro-future, but a large enough established genre to warrant it's own listing.

I can see the appeal of Centuries ahead--well, really of "a galaxy far, far away"

Ah, but that was a "long time ago"!

Star Trek is 'centuries ahead'. James T. Kirk was born on March 22, 2233. He even has a Future Birthplace marker in Riverside, Iowa.

Meanwhile, somewhere on Earth, George Jetson will be 3 years old on July 31st. Very near future gaming now for The Jetsons. At some point it will have to slide into alternate history.
