- TRIVIA -
Released in May 1979. Subs was the first multi-monitor game. Players stood on opposite sites of each other and used radar to find the others hidden sub and blow it away. In addition to the dual monitor, this was the first game with an operator optional add-a-coin or regular credit coinage mode. In add-a-coin mode, the game can be set on eight different times per coin.

WIP:
- 0.145u8: Miodrag Milanovic fixed some recent vblank port related regressions in Subs.
- 0.143u1: Angelo Salese removed deprecat.h usage in Subs.
- 2nd August 2010: Mr. Do - Re-did the overlay for Subs, based on better photos.
- 0.136: Tafoid added DIP locations to Subs.
- 0.131: Aaron Giles merged memory maps in Subs.
- 6th May 2007: Mr. Do - Based on the game manual and a few game photos, re-created the overlay for Subs. It actually makes the game more playable, now that you know where your borders are.
- 0.112: Aaron Giles fixed Player 2 sonar.
- 0.106u10: David Haywood added dualscreen support (2x 256x224) to Subs.
- 0.86u5: Inigo Luja fixed 'Language' dipswitch.
- 0.69: Derrick Renaud added preliminary discrete sound to Subs (driver still needs Sonar sounds to be done). Removed 2nd button.
- 0.37b15: Changed visible area to 512x224.
- 0.36b9: Changed palettesize from 6 to 4 colors.
- 0.36b4: Changed VSync to 57Hz.
- 0.34b2: Mike Balfour added Subs (Atari 1977). Note: This game uses two monitors, one for each player, aimed away from each other. The emulation displays both monitors side by side on the screen. A lot of the challenge is lost when you can see both monitors. Unfortunately, there is no other simple solution to allow 2-player support on a single-monitor computer. Also, Subs is mildly dependent on its overlay. Without the overlay, it might not be obvious that the playfield is circular in shape, and the blinking white box actually illuminates a box labelled "Sonar".
