Flip both difficulty switches to B and TV Type to B/W, then turn on (or reset) the console and select game variation 1. Once you lose the game and the fly animation finishes playing, hold Left on Controller 2. The two scores will change to the names of two (unknown) people - Player 1's will become "DAVID J.", while Player 2's changes to "DONNA F."
