The PC version of NIN was also responsible for the game included 10 audio tracks from 's sound effects. The [[Soundtracks|soundtrack]] was remastered and reissued in 2020 on vinyl and digital. Historically, there was confusion as to whether the game as standard CD-Audio filesmusic was credited to NIN or [[Trent Reznor]] alone, so but this was cleared up by id Software designer American McGee[https://www.quaddicted.com/interviews/americanmcgee] and by the game disc could be played in a CD player 2020 edition. It is notable that this soundtrack contains [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambient_music ambient music], which Reznor went on to explore further with the first track reserved for game data (which can not be read by a CD player), ''[[Ghosts]]'' series and 10 additional tracks various scores created with [[Atticus Ross]].

===Alternate Track Titles=2020 Reissue==There are in fact no official names On September 16th, 2020, it was announced that the ''Quake'' 12" 2xLP would be available for these tracks, as they remain untitled in sale via the accompanying game literature.[http://www.nincatalog[nin.com/item]] store.asp?key=01-90414Per [[John Crawford]] on [[Echoing the Sound]] They can be referred to by their track number; however, because it was confirmed that the first audio track is release has the CD's second track (the first being reserved for [[Null numbers|Null]] 0.5 release number. The packaging credited the actual game data), this usually leads music to confusion. As suchTrent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails, they can also be referred to in the format of ''Ghosts I-IV'' track titles (e.g. "02 Quake I")and listed [[Charlie Clouser]], numbers (e.g. "Quake 1")[[Robin Finck]], sequenced untitled tracks[[Danny Lohner]], and so [[Chris Vrenna]] as having been involved. The final, blank side of the vinyl is etched with program code from the game. A digital release was also made available onDecember 4, 2020.
Reznor also posted the following to nin.com, which was later removed: <nowiki>*</nowiki>NOTE<br>WE DESIGNED THIS REISSUE TO INCLUDE A BOOKLET CONTAINING ESSAYS FROM ID SOFTWARE’S JOHN CARMACK AND AMERICAN MCGEE. A CERTAIN UNNAMED VIDEO GAME PUBLISHER MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO INCLUDE THIS IN THE PACKAGE, SO PLEASE HONOR THEIR WISHES BY NOT CLICKING [https://www.nin.com/john-carmak-american-mcgee/ HERE] TO EVEN SEE THE ESSAYS OR [https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2486/0276/files/QUAKE_essays_SEP15_FIN4_GRACoL_CL.pdf?v=1600226971 HERE] TO PRINT THE BOOKLET OUT FOR YOURSELF. <gallery>Image:Quake_essay_html1.jpg|Essay from nin.com, page 1Image:Quake_essay_html2.jpg|Essay from nin.com, page 2Image:Quake_essay_html3.jpg|Essay from nin.com, page 3</gallery> ==Alternate Track Titles==Until the 2020 release, the official names for the tracks were unknown, as they were untitled in the accompanying game literature.[http://nincatalog.com/items-with-official-tracks/quake-us-cd-1230/] They were referred to by their track number; however, because the first audio track is the CD's second track (the first being reserved for the actual game data), this usually led to confusion. Alternatively, fan-made titles and game level names are often brought up when CD ripping/playing software looks up the information on the CDDB, and some of them ended up being the official titles. The official titles were uploaded to the CDDB at least [https://groups.google.com/g/alt.music.nin/c/2mSFCuyar4Y/m/0Zj1YNqO0tMJ as early as 2000], and were likely provided by someone at [[Nothing Studios]] or id Software.

He was a big fan of ''Doom'' and had sent tickets and backstage passes to developers, expressing an interest in working on ''Quake''.[https://books.google.com/books?id=pw0EAAAAMBAJ&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false] [[Image:QuakeNailgunAmmo.jpg|thumb|right|Nailgun ammo.]]A particular weapon in game play is the "nailgun" which can be reloaded by collecting ammo boxes decorated with the [[Logo History|NIN logo]]. Also, Reznor was the original choice for sound design on id Software's ''Doom 3'', but circumstances halted his involvement. Former NIN member Chris Vrenna composed the game areas are 's theme song. The game's readme mentions something called [[Nothing Interactive]], an entity that has never been referred to on individual track pagesany other NIN or [[Nothing Records]] product.
