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. 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.
