Finally we come to the last record I bought at the most recent WFMU Record Fair.

This set me back $2. It's really good, though! Definitely very '80s. Every song is written about a different video game. It kicks off with Pac-Man but Frogger, Centipede, Donkey Kong, Asteroids and several others get the treatment.

The record sleeve shows some good Pac-Man strategies.

The songs are really good. "Froggy's Lament" is quite stirring. Buckner & Garcia wrote the theme song for Wreck-It Ralph, which demonstrates some good thinking from the people at Disney.
