Quoted from swampfire:Just saw this note on the STTNG IPDB entry (emphasis added):
Patent #5,350,174 [BELOW THE PLAYFIELD BALL DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR A PINBALL GAME] filed October 28, 1993. Granted September 27, 1994 to Ritchie et al. Assignee is Williams Electronic Games, Inc.

Quoted from swampfire:What was the first game with a subway?
Quoted from DCFAN:Cyclone beats that by about 10 months.
Black Hole beats that by seven years.
Quoted from schudel5:Ace High beats that by 24 years.
Going with gobble hole subways that lead back to the ball trough Roll Over beats that by another 20 years
Quoted from Captain_Kirk:Big Broadcast in 1933 had a very sophisticated subway system.
