Aliens: The Computer Game (Software Studios/Electric Dreams Software, C64/Spectrum, 1986)Īctivision developed a higher profile tie-in with the movie, but this version is far superior and has lasting significance in game design terms. The first-person view and smooth sensation of movement were astonishing at the time (especially considering it ran on the older 16k Spectrum), and it no doubt prepared the way for future variations on the free-roaming driving game.
#SMALL SOLDIERS GAME SOUNDTRACK PC#
Written by lone coder Mervyn Estcourt (who also produced a PC remake almost 20 years later), this remarkably progressive 3D chase game gets the player to ride a futuristic motorbike through dense woodland, attempting to track down and shoot enemy riders. 3D Deathchase (Micromega, ZX Spectrum, 1983) Everything in between is still indecipherable to me.What have I forgotten? What crimes against video game nostalgia have I committed? Add your own favourites in the comments section. The final line still sounds like "I will sow fear among you" just before the crash. The first lines now sound like they're saying "I am the law" and "I represent each and every one of you", which is less sinister but still inexplicably angry. Thankfully somebody on YouTube did upload a high-quality version of the track within the last couple years, and with a better pair of headphones I can finally decipher some of the voice. Why was such a violent, unsettling music track put into a game largely for kids, and why does it play on a level where nothing out of the ordinary is happening? Also, just what the hell is the voice saying all through the track and how are the distant crashes and gunshots related?
#SMALL SOLDIERS GAME SOUNDTRACK TV#
That anvil crash is still louder than any other sound in the game and nearly blows out my TV speakers. It's all action, without a hint of anything sinister or paranormal aside from the background music. The level has you infiltrating a space ship and blowing up everything in sight. Some months later I finally got to the stage in the game where this music track plays, and things just get weirder. For the rest of the night, I could swear I was still hearing that grinding sound through the night. When I heard it I jumped out of bed, tore off my headphones and turned all the lights on. Still hard to understand but I remember it saying "I will sow fear among you." The instant it says that final word, there's a horrifyingly loud crash like a hammer striking an anvil. Then, just before the end, all instruments stop and it's back to just the slow grinding sound and the voice. Later the piano stops and is replaced with what sounds like a xylophone, which should sound more innocent but there's something sinister about the melody it plays, like if you took out all the noise going on in the background, it would still give you the creeps. The violent shouting continues through all of it, getting even harder to understand. No actual instruments came in until over a minute into the track, when a slow piano starts playing a mournful melody, only it sounds like it's being played from an old music box. Occasionally the voice would be followed by loud crashes, glass breaking, and what sounded like a gunshot. The first few lines sounded like "I am a god" and "I will resent each and every one of you". It was extremely hard to discern what the voice was saying. I heard a distorted, menacing voice shouting, which seemed to get angrier as the track went on. It started off innocently enough with some trumpets, like most of the other compositions, but very quickly the trumpets faded and gave way to a strange ambient noise like something scraping against solid rock. Every track was energetic, upbeat and delightfully cinematic. It combined Eastern folk music and indigenous chants with Germanic choirs and bombastic trumpets. One night I got impatient and decided to pop Small Soldiers into my CD player. I normally didn't try this until I had beaten a game because it felt like a spoiler, but one thing about Small Soldiers is that it was notoriously difficult, to the point where I rarely got past the second level. I was ten years old when the game came out and just discovered that if you put a PS1 disc into a CD player, you can listen to all the music from the game. It had a clever twist on the premise, solid action gameplay, Tommy Lee Jones and, best of all, a soundtrack composed by the great Michael Giacchino. Even less people remember that there was a video game adaptation for PS1, which is a shame because it was actually pretty damn good. It was decently entertaining and still fun to watch in that 90's anything-goes kind of way.
#SMALL SOLDIERS GAME SOUNDTRACK MOVIE#
Probably almost nobody remembers a movie called Small Soldiers from 1998. This is partly a personal story, partly a mystery, because after more than two decades I still have questions and now I just want to get them off my chest.
