The practice of releasing video game soundtracks on vinyl records began in the 1980s, fell out of favor in the 1990s and 2000s as vinyl records were replaced by other storage media, and experienced a resurgence of interest in the 2010s due in part to a vinyl revival.〔Napolitano, Jayson. "(The Sound Card 007: Game music on vinyl )". ''Destructoid''. 23 May 2012〕 Vinyl recordings of video game music find their origins in the 1970s with albums such as Yellow Magic Orchestra's self-titled 1978 release sampling electronic music from the games ''Circus'', ''Space Invaders'', and ''Gun Fight''. The practice experienced its "golden age" in the 1980s with hundreds of releases including Buckner & Garcia's ''Pac-Man Fever'', Namco's ''Video Game Graffiti'', and Koichi Sugiyama's orchestral covers of the ''Dragon Quest'' series. The 1990s saw many fewer commercial releases and a shift to promo releases. This trend continued in the 2000s as fan-made remixes also began to be produced, however in the 2010s the trend reversed and the practice of producing video game soundtracks on vinyl experienced a revival.〔 The vinyl revival of the 2010s has itself been attributed to inspiration in younger music buyers from video games〔McGeehan, Patrick. "(Vinyl Records and Turntables Are Gaining Sales )". ''New York Times''. 6 December 2009.〕 The revival of interest in this medium is characterized by releases in limited numbers and promotional albums only available at special events or as pre-order bonuses.〔 In addition, the practice has been adopted by the Indie game scene, with its proponents citing audio quality,〔 interactivity,〔 artwork,〔〔Eldred, James B. "(Collectors embrace video game soundtracks on vinyl )". ''Goldmine''. 25 October 2012.〕 nostalgia,〔 unique content,〔 and the fact that vinyl albums represent tangible aspects of intangible (digitally distributed) products〔 as the key elements to what makes vinyl soundtrack albums attractive. Due to the limited nature of modern releases, many albums are considered highly collectible, with some regularly selling in excess of $100 USD. For Western collectors, additional difficulty is imposed by the cost of importing albums from Japan where the majority were produced during the "golden age" of the 1980s.〔 == Soundtrack albums ==
