[[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 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambient_music ambient music] composed by [[Trent Reznor]], who went on to explore this further on releases like ''[[Ghosts I-IV]]'' and ''[[The Social Network Soundtrack]]''. Some versions of the game include shortened edits of the music 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 [[~~NIN~~Coil]] ~~logo~~.

==Trivia==

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