Simple past sentence uses time frame whereas present perfect is not.

So if the year is mentioned it will 'got' but not 'have got'. Is this correct?

Why had got is not the answer?

As in sentence time reference is there (1988), we should use simple past.
If there is no time reference both "I have got" and "I got" are correct.
If there is no time reference both "I have got" and "I got" are correct.

In above sentence he mentioned with respect to time so "I got" correct answer.

I have got is used for the things which we have completed recently but in the context it is clearly mentioned that it was happened in 1988.
So we must not use have here because it was completed long back but not recently. May hope you understand.

Have is always used in present tense friends.

Have got is present perfect which needs immediate finishing or usage of since or for otherwise its simple past.
