The radio was the AM/FM receiver my father had at the time (you can hear me using the tone controls in the WHIRR sample), and all I did was to hold the game close to it and tune around the AM band. The game's sounds would change as you played it (sometimes it would play a little tune as well)... I've used telephone pickups too; some devices seem to work better with them, but I like the flexibility you get with a radio.
