[[Image:Quake_Soundtrack.jpg|thumb|1996 - ''Quake Soundtrack'']][[Image:QuakeNailgunAmmo.jpg|thumb|right|Nailgun ammo.]]'''Quake''' is a video game by id Software released on June 22, 1996, which features music composed by [[Trent Reznor]]. The PC version Most versions of the game included 10 audio tracks from the game as standard CD-Audio files, so the game disc could be played in a CD player with the first track reserved for game data (which can not cannot be read by a CD player), and 10 additional tracks of music. It is notable that this soundtrack contains a rare occurrence Some versions of the game include shortened edits of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambient_music ambient the music] composed by Trent Reznor, who went on to explore this further on releases like ''Ghosts I-IV'' and ''[[The Social Network Soundtrack]]''tracks.
A particular weapon in gameplay Other members of [[Nine Inch Nails]] also helped to create the music.[https://www.quaddicted.com/interviews/americanmcgee] Reznor was also responsible for the game's sound effects. It is notable that this [[Soundtracks|soundtrack]] contains [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambient_music ambient music], which Reznor went on to explore further with the "nailgun" which can be reloaded by collecting ammo boxes decorated ''[[Ghosts]]'' series and various scores created with [[Atticus Ross]]. It is also reminiscent of the dark ambient music of [[NINCoil]] logo.
==Track Listing==
===Alternate Track Titles===
There are in fact no official names for these tracks, as they remain untitled in the accompanying game literature.[http://www.nincatalog.com/item.asp?key=01-90414] They can be 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 leads to confusion. As such, they can also be referred to in the format of ''[[Ghosts I-IV]]'' track titles (e.g. "02 Quake I"), numbers (e.g. "Quake 1"), sequenced untitled tracks, and so on.
Alternatively, fan-made titles and game level names are often brought up when CD ripping/playing software looks up the information on the CDDB:

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 refers to [[Nothing Interactive]], an entity that has not been to referred to before or since.
