The Original Cow Clicker
On CompuServe
August 14, 2011
Yes, I know it's probably just a reference to checking stock prices (a bull market), but I choose to interpret the cow as a reference to the promised "adventure games" or perhaps even "fantastic space games."
If you can read the text, you'll also note that "videotex service" CompuServe offered a multichannel CB simulator.

(thanks to Mark Sample for this find)
