Classic Dungeons & Dragons settings
1972: Greyhawk
The original D&D setting, by Gary Gygax. Three video games only use this setting.

Five D&D video games use no specific setting. The earliest two (Cloudy Mountain and Treasure of Tarmin) actually just use the D&D name, without any role-playing element.
1981: Mystara
A "Basic D&D" setting. Two role-playing video games and three more video games use this setting.
1984: Dragonlance
One of the most famous settings, by Laura and Tracy Hickman. A role-playing video game trilogy and six more video games use this setting.
1987: Forgotten Realms
The main D&D setting, by Ed Greenwood. Currently, 32 video games use this setting.
More Dungeons & Dragons settings
1989: Spelljammer
A fantasy space travel setting, originally conceived as a bridge between different D&D settings. Only one video game uses this setting, and it received mixed reviews.
1990: Ravenloft
A gothic-horror setting. Three video games use this setting.
1991: Dark Sun
A post-apocalyptic setting, where magic is mostly replaced by psychic powers. Three video games use this setting.
1992: Al-Qadim
A setting based on Arabian Nights. Only one video game uses this setting, and it received mixed reviews.
1994: Planescape
A Victorian Age steampunk setting, conceived as a bridge between different D&D settings. Only one video game uses this setting, but it received great reviews.
1995: Birthright
A setting where players act as rulers of nations, and deal with politics and strategy, instead of adventuring. Only one video game uses this setting, and it received mixed reviews.
2004: Eberron

Game list
For the 32 games in the Forgotten Realms setting, the 8 ones in the Dragonlance setting, and the 5 ones in the Mystara setting, see the specific category pages.
"Dungeon crawl" is a sub-genre of role-playing games, charactrized by minimal plot, minimal role-playing opportunities, minimal (or absent) overworld, and exploration of a single huge dungeon (or very few ones).
