Chrono Trigger has some Nostradamus influence.

The 1999 A.D. when Lavos comes out of the Earth and makes the sky rain fire. Magus was based off the name Mabus.

For those who did not notice. :)

Mabus will soon die, then will come,
A horrible undoing of people and animals,
At once one will see vengeance,
One hundred powers, thirst, famine, when the comet will pass.

The year 1999, seventh month,
From the sky will come a great King of Terror.
To bring back to life the great King of the Mongols,
Before and after Mars to reign by good luck.
