It was released in 1984 during a time where Namco was already a well-established video game company while Hosono was out of Music/YellowMagicOrchestra (a band whose [[Music/YellowMagicOrchestraAlbum first album]] featured video game music). The basis of the album is that each track showcases audio footage of a Namco video game. After a sample of it is played, Hosono would rearrange the game's soundtrack by using the game's sound effects. Namco's most famous games such as VideoGame/PacMan and {{VideoGame/Galaga}} are featured on the album as well as more obscure ones like VideoGame/LibbleRabble.
