Where it is set

Also per Japanese Wikipedia — “サンフランシスコを舞台としたコンピュータゲーム” category

Japanese Wikipedia’s “サンフランシスコを舞台としたコンピュータゲーム” category lists 1 more place. A category is an editor’s judgement rather than a sourced statement, so these are listed apart, never mixed into the statement list, and the claim links straight to where it came from.

Drawn from these real places

Nothing was filmed at these and the story does not happen in them. They are the real places this game’s setting was modelled on, named in its Japanese Wikipedia article. That is the weakest claim this atlas makes about a place, so it is listed apart from everything above and never counted as a filming location.
