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.

Apollo 13,

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.

Capcombo: Shoot

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.

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.

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.

on the screen, but at rare occasions a cow drives the car instead, with the

RAM can be accessed at this time."

The Machine:
Bride of Pin*Bot, Williams 1991 |
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.

hell Wade is."

"DOHO" to the left of the right slingshot.

Xenon, Bally
1979 |
KMIEC appears on the playfield near the right flipper (near the head of a
robot). Greg Kmiec designed Xenon.
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.
