The purpose is for the CD audio tracks to accompany the video gameplay. The standard audio tracks can also be played back in a regular CD player.

===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> Although the PDF booklet pixelated all the in-game screenshots (likely to avoid any rights issues, since Activision had objected to the inclusion of the booklet), super-fans of the game were quickly able to identify from which parts of the game the pixelated screenshots came. Several fan-created restorations of the booklet were created, and some fans even organized limited print runs of the restored booklets. ==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.

==Trivia==
Reznor became involved as the result of mutual fandom between himself and developers at 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's theme song. The game's readme mentions something called [[Nothing Interactive]], an entity that has never been referred to on any other NIN or [[Nothing Records]] product.
