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.
