chiptune music began to appear with the video game music produced during the golden age of video arcade games. an early example was the opening tune in tomohiro nishikado's arcade game "gun fight" (1975). the first video game to use a continuous background soundtrack was tomohiro nishikado's 1978 release "space invaders", which had four simple chromatic descending bass notes repeating in a loop, though it was dynamic and interacted with the player, increasing pace as the enemies descended on the player. the first video game to feature continuous melodic background music was "rally-x", an arcade game released by namco in 1980, featuring a simple tune that repeats continuously during gameplay. it was also one of the earliest games to use a digital-to-analog converter to produce sampled sounds. that same year, the first video game to feature speech synthesis was also released, sunsoft's shoot 'em up arcade game "stratovox".
