There is a video game showing the effects of time travel though. 
Well, which version of time travel would the game engine have to simulate anyway? Parallel timelines would probably be kinda pointless concerning player interaction. Consistent timelines cannot be simulated because they'd require real timetravel.

I've just watched an other science fiction movie about time travel and it made me feel like writing this idea I have for some time: video games are a proof that time travel is not possible.
As far as I know, there is currently no multiplayer video game that is capable of convincingly simulating time travel. We're capable of simulating words where we can do pretty much everything we want, including violating the laws of physics. And yet for some reason we seem to be unable to conceive a game engine where one player could go back in time in the game. It would just not make sense at some point. I suppose the very idea is logically non consistent or something.
