Raw Thrills is a mid-sized arcade game developer based in Skokie, Illinois, founded in 2001 by Eugene Jarvis, Andrew Eloff, and Deepak Deo to develop arcade video games for a global market. Led by veteran designer Jarvis, the company released titles such as Target:Terror, The Fast and the Furious, DRIFT and SuperBikes. In 2006, Raw Thrills merged with Play Mechanix, a studio known for Big Buck Hunter and Deal Or No Deal, creating a broader arcade-focused development capability. The combined entity develops arcade games across styles—hunting, driving simulators, and ticket-redemption formats—and sells them to operators of arcades and family entertainment centers worldwide. Recent activity includes a 2026 launch of Stranger Things Arcade, reflecting ongoing collaborations with licensors.
