Having cows appearing in pinball games started as an internal joke for
the people at Williams/Bally. The first game to include a cow was The Machine: Bride of Pinbot (see
below) and the man responsible
was programmer Brian Eddy (designer of The Shadow, Attack From Mars
and Medieval Madness).
On the question why he replied: "Why breathe? Why Eat? Why live without cows in pinball machines?"
The story of the cow comes in many different versions. This is the "truth
about the cow" according to Mark Penacho:
"The cow in Fire (gravy) had nothing to do with the cows that appeared
all over later on. One person (who shall remain nameless, BRE)
started putting
cows in the games he worked on, and eventually people started copying (there's also cow stuff all over his house).
It kind of got out of hand after that. The fact that one person at the time (SS)
did all the
dot matrix effects for all games did nothing to curb that trend.
I did hear at one time that the Sega people assumed this was some kind
of jab at pinball designer Joe Kaminkow (which it wasn't, talk about vanity)."
Another thing that appears in many pinball machines is the word DOHO,
which is well hidden in the animations on the Dot Matrix Display. Scott Slomiany (aka. Scott Matrix) "created" the
DOHO and it stands for Doris Ho, Scott´s wife.
Also look out for these things: the red button with a telecord (appears in Pat Lawlor-designed games), Skull and crossbones, Champagne glasses, 3, "SM", "Feel The Power", Bob, "Eat at Joe´s" and the artist/designer himself.

Somewhere there´s a hidden Video mode.
Please let me know if you know where.
| Attack From Mars, Bally 1995 |
Sometimes when you shoot the Big-O-Beam, a cow is displayed and a female
voice says: "Would you look at the size of that cow?!" and a moo is heard.
Sometimes when you shoot the Tractor Beam, a cow is beamed up.
(View
animation).DOHO is also seen in this animation.
Whenever one of these animations appears, hit the Launch button repeatedly
for lots of mooing sounds. Do this for both of the ramps and then the next Video mode will be
Cow Attack Video mode, where the
saucers has been replaced with mooing cows.
At very rare occasions one of the saucers in Saucer Attack Video mode will be replaced with the number 3. The smart bomb (see below) has no effect on the "3" and nothing happens when it reaches the ground, it just disappears below the horizon. The programmers added this easter egg as a "homage" to a bug in the ST:TNG video mode which replaces the items in the tunnels with a "3".
Shoot the same Martian during Martian Multiball five times consecutively. Skull from No Fear appears saying "Again!"
Smart bomb: Press Launch button during Video mode to clear screen (works only once).
Tournament mode: Insert credits and hold
both flipperbuttons for a couple of seconds before you press Start. The display will
confirm that the next game will be in Tournament mode (Stroke of Luck award
will always be 50M).
"Eat at Eddy´s" can be seen on the backglass (designer Brian Eddy).
One of the default names in the Buy-In Score list is MOO.
The woman on the backglass is the secretary who worked in the reception at the WMS factory.
In the DMD animation for the Atomic Blaster Hurry Up there is a road sign passing by. This sign reads DOHO.
During Attract mode, press
the following sequence:
B, 18L, 1R, 3L, 1R, 6L, 1R. That spells RCF and shows the credits for Attack
from Mars.
There is another flipper code to play Cow video mode instead of Saucer video
mode, but I haven´t figured that one out yet.
Enter the tag MOO in the high score list and a nice "moo" will be heard.
| Barb Wire, Gottlieb 1996 |
| Batman Forever, SEGA 1995 |
After a certain number of slingshot hits, after a 3 second lag, a giant

Capcombo: Shoot around the Mini-loop, and then backwards around the right orbit to the rollover-lanes. You will now see a moose kick a cow in the behind.
The playfield ball rack lights intermittently spell out T, O, N, Y (Tony
Defeo was one of the engineers). TONY also flashes during attract mode.
A flipper button sequence (which I don´t know of) encodes Tony´s
birthday and starts a freak-out mode with video animation (involving Tony´s face), lights and solenoid pops.
At the end of a game, hold both flippers before and during the moose animation for a fun sound effect.
| Centaur, Bally 1981 |
The names PATLA and GOLEN appear on the playfield below the flippers
near the figure of a woman. Jim Patla designed the game and Emil Golen programmed it.

A cow sometimes fly away as debree in the DMD animation for hitting the Ringmaster. Other debrees are bolts and pigeons.
There´s a cow on the backglass, above the acrobat to the right.
The Attract mode sound is a moo.
Enter MOO for initials in the high score table and the Ringmaster will pop up and say "moo!". (Game ROM rev. 2.0 home)
Sometimes the pie that hits the clown in the match animation is replaced with a cow, similar to the ones that Rooney jumps over in the Video mode.
Sometimes the 1´s digit on the display flips to a skull, a cow, a frog from Scared Stiff or a Tommy Ticket (from Ticket Tac Toe).
In the Attract mode´s history of the circus, a cow is mentioned in two places.
John Popadiuk can be seen as the Fabio-looking acrobat on the backglass.
In Attract mode, press one of these codes:
B, 3L, 10R, 19L, 1R (that spells CJS)
B, 16L, 1R, 2L, 1R (PAB)

| Congo, Williams 1995 |
During the Satellite Transfer, the first six or seven hits will get you various pictures of gorillas, diamonds and the like. The eighth hit gives a cow that moo´s. The next hit gives a duck that quacks, probably the Peking duck from Shadow. After that comes the picture "move your car" from CFTBL, with the appropriate sampling. Then follows the "Here's Your Hotdog" picture without the original sampling.
Start a game just before midnight to enable "Midnight Madness".
Enter MOO in the high
score list to hear a nice "moo". If you also become Loop or Diamond Champion
you´ll hear a second moo.

Before you plunge the ball into play, hit a flipper button to make the motor shake with a reving sound.
One of the tracks is the Holstein Track, and Holstein is a breed of cow.
When you start the "Catch me if you can"-sequence a car with one of four women drives up on the screen, but at rare occasions a cow drives the car instead, with the text "Moo" at the bottom of the screen.
Hit 2L, 1R, 2L before plunging. The control gate near the LT1 roll-over lanes will open, allowing the
plunged ball to go to the upper flipper for a shot at the side ramp, or loop.
Hit 2R, 1L, 2R to close the gate again.

TO WHOM I OWE
A LOT, THX DAD
IN LOVING MEMORY
OF MY MOTHER

CHRISTINE
There are two sound clips that are never used in the game, and they
were apparently put in by the programmers
just as jokes, never to be found.

of available (Not sure about the %).
RAM can be accessed at this time."
* (Boomy Announcer) "Jeff! You are a weenie!"

There is a Champagne glass on the translite.
The birthdays of people and family members associated with the making
of the game show up on the display when the game is slam tilted or power
cycled. These birthdates show up only on the actual birthday.
These are the messsages as they appear on the segment displays. The
only way to make these appear is to slam tilt the game OR enter and then
exit test mode. This isn't the way it was intended to work. When games
are hooked up to a debugger the power up message does not appear so the
happy birthday message would come up on power up. When a game is on a ROM
the power up message comes up and prevents the happy birthday message from
happening. This was never noticed until after production, so it ended up more hidden than intended.

the Mystery Canyon as a Whirlpool Award will show a picture of the Spirit pulling a string on the legless cow.
A loud "moo" is heard.
This picture can also be seen very briefly in the Vacation Bonus award.
Cow 4: When you shoot "Disaster Drop" there's a display effect where
you see a splash of water coming at you. At the end of the effect, when the water splashes, there it is: in
the lower left corner of the display.
You have to look very carefully because you can only see it in a fraction
of a second.
On the backglass, the man with the surprised look on his face is artist
John Youssi.

Someone told me that HUDSON appears on the other side (near the left flipper (near the head of a robot). I don't know who Hudson is, I know that Paul Faris did the artwork so I don't think it's likely that Margaret Hudson's name appears on this playfield.
