Defender high score "advertising" message?

Guys, I must be blind because I haven't seen it in the settings. Can someone be a little more specific? Does it have something to do with the "unused" settings?
 
NBA JAM too! On that game it is a large full screen message that cycles through during the attract mode.

I use to have mine say "hey wanker, why don't you bring it" or something to that effect.
 
In Sinistar it is on the title screen. The message appears below the title. I was not able to access the setting until I repaired the CMOS. If you look at the Sinistar title screen and see the two rows of O's below Sinistar, that is where the message goes. I don't think the prototype ROMs had that feature.

I dont recall that being an option on Defender. I know its on just about all of the rest of the WMS games though. Its under "attract mode message" in the test mode.

You may be right since that was their first game and it was rushed. I have never owned one but it make sense.

Yeah, I'm always surprised how many people don't know about adding messages to the title screen. Here's the one on my Joust cocktail:

Here's one I got called out to a company breakroom to change because someone figured out to do it:
