Wico

From Sega Retro

Wico Corporation was a company which specialised in replacement parts for coin-operated machines during the second half of the twentieth century.

At its peak, it was the world's largest part manufacture for this industry, and also had its hands in other ventures, developing pinball tables in the late 1970s and later having a brief stint in arcade video games. Towards the end of the 1980s the company had scaled back its operations, merely distributing games in the US and producing accessories for home computers and consoles.

During the mid-1980s when Sega did not have a US branch, Wico distributed some of Sega's products around the country, including Champion Baseball, Champion Baseball II, Regulus. It also produced the Command Control arcade stick for the Sega Master System

Wico filed for bankruptcy in 2001.
