Punch the El! Kick the Bean!

April 10, 2007 1:02 AM

I would like to compile a list of videogames (all platforms, all ages) that are set in Chicago, or have levels or scenes set in Chicago (like Tony Hawk 3 or Rampage: World Tour). I found this list on Wikipedia, but I'm guessing there are more. What are some of the others?

The only games I am not interested in are sports games set solely inside arenas like Comiskey Park, Soldier Field, the United Center, et cetera.

Sam & Max seems to be set in Chicago, though it doesn't explicitly say so. There is an El Train.

A well-constructed Google search of gamefaqs.com would reveal even more.

Midtown Madness--a driving game where you could race cars (including a CTA bus) around a (strangely truncated) version of the loop.
