NAME:
* I like "COWZ" - any other suggestions??
GENERAL:
* Have Cow Legs, and an Udder bolted on beneath the machine.
* Have hidden goats, Buffalo, and other ruminants
* If you lose two balls, some joke about a steer.
* Have a low score award(Extra game)
SAVE:
* If a magnasave is used (or even a kickback poss.) it can be called a
TRACTOR BEAM. Use the same Sprite as MOVE YOUR COW.
TILT:
* Tilt warning1, SFX: "Careful there with that cow"
* Tilt warning2, SFX: "She's tipping"
* Tilt, SFX: "TIPPED! What a load of Bull."
RAMPS N RAILS:
* Ramp 1: R-L, End can be Lowered to allow access to upper pastures, or raised
to allow OVER THE MOON
* Ramp 2: L-R, Regular ramp-rail, at end, drops balls through plastic
bucket for DROP IN THE BUCKET
* Ramp 3: Normally raised, lowered by shooting all GRAZE drop targets,
Shoot for CHEW THE CUD
