    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.

    That didn't stop Gottlieb, Sega and maybe others from using them.

    Before Metallica, what was the last Stern to have 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.

    Nice! I'm quitting this game while I'm ahead.

    I'm guessing the BOM on GnR was pretty high compared to a regular size Data East game of the time.
