"Chicago was the place where all the classic games were made, because you could acquire all the parts that were necessary from local manufacturers" said Steve Kordek (who gave the world two-flipper pinball). It's a quote from the Feb '10 issue of Chicago Magazine. I'm sure it's something that went unnoticed by most readers, but I winced the second I read it. Why? Because 50 years later, Neuros moved its manufacturing (and a lot of the engineering) to China for largely the same reason.
