Play Mechanix / Raw Thrills: History, Timeline & Every Machine Listed

Play Mechanix is an arcade design studio connected to Raw Thrills and the Chicago Gaming Company Pulp Fiction collaboration. Because Pulp Fiction is commercially represented under Chicago Gaming Company and later Halo discussion remains rumor/preview territory, Evolution Pinball tracks Play Mechanix and Raw Thrills together as a limited-status pinball collaborator rather than duplicating products.
