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.
