===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=01-90414The packaging indicates a [[Null numbers|Null]] They can be referred to by their track Zero Point Five release number; however, because the first audio track . Nine Inch Nails is the CD's second track (credited artist on the first being reserved for the actual game data), this usually leads to confusion. As suchrelease, they can also be referred to in with the format of ''Ghosts INine Inch Nails 1996 line-IV'' track titles (e.g. "02 Quake I")up being listed as [[Charlie Clouser]], [[Robin Finck]], numbers (e.g. "Quake 1")[[Danny Lohner]], sequenced untitled tracksTrent Reznor, and so [[Chris Vrenna]].

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 not listed 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.
