[[Nine Inch Nails]] and [[Trent Reznor]]'s music has been used in video games, ranging from the first person shooter ''Quake'' to music games ''Guitar Hero'' and ''Rock Band''.

==Super Mario Land==
Reznors are enemy mid-bosses that debuted in 1991's ''Super Mario Land''. Dayv Brooks was an employee of Nintendo of America from 1988-1993, and one of his jobs was giving English names to the Super Mario game characters during the Japanese to English localization process. He named most of the Koopalings after rock musicians, as well as naming Reznors after Trent Reznor. [https://www.mariowiki.com/Dayvv_Brooks]

Reznors later appeared in the real world in the LEGO Super Mario "Reznor Knockdown" expansion set.

==The Ultimate DOOM==
The [[Logo History|NIN logo]] is present as an easter egg in a secret room in ''The Ultimate DOOM'' level "E4M1: Hell Beneath" designed by American McGee [http://doom.wikia.com/wiki/E4M1:_Hell_Beneath_(Doom)#Trivia].

==Quake==
The ''[[Quake Soundtrack]]'' was wholly created by Trent Reznor and NIN for use as background and incidental music during gameplay. They also created all the sound effects for the game.  The NIN logo is present on the ammo box for the Nailgun.

==Doom 3==
Through his friendship with John Carmack, Reznor was originally going to be the overall sound producer on ''Doom 3'', providing the main theme and all sound effects and voiceovers.  He worked with the game design team for a time, providing material for the E3 2002 alpha demo. 
However, Reznor later dropped out due to the time commitment, money, and bad management.  [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doom_3#Production] Reznor talked about his Doom 3 experience in-depth in an [[:File:2004_07_21Questions3.gif|Access response]].   

The final game didn't contain any music or sounds by Reznor. [[Chris Vrenna]] did the job instead.  A leak of an alpha build of the game contained sounds that Reznor had created, and they can be re-added to the final game by installing a custom "[https://gamebanana.com/sounds/352 Trent Reznor Sound Pack]".
