The PC version of NIN was also responsible for the game included 10 audio tracks from 's sound effects. The [[Soundtracks|soundtrack]] was remastered and reissued in 2020 on vinyl and digital. Historically, there was confusion as to whether the game as standard CD-Audio filesmusic was credited to NIN or [[Trent Reznor]] alone, so but this was cleared up by id Software designer American McGee[https://www.quaddicted.com/interviews/americanmcgee] and by the game disc could be played in a CD player 2020 edition. It is notable that this soundtrack contains [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambient_music ambient music], which Reznor went on to explore further with the first track reserved for game data (which can not be read by a CD player), ''[[Ghosts]]'' series and 10 additional tracks various scores created with [[Atticus Ross]].

There are in fact no official names to these tracks. They are usually referred to either by the level they are initially played to, or by one of two fan created track listings. They can also be referred to by their track number, however, the first audio track being placed on the CD's second track (the first being reserved for the actual game data), this usually leads to confusion.''Side B'''#"It Is Raped"#"Parallel Dimensions"#"Life"

==2020 Reissue==
On September 16th, 2020, it was announced that the ''Quake'' 12" 2xLP would be available for sale via the [[nin.com]] store. Per [[John Crawford]] on [[Echoing the Sound]], it was confirmed that the release has the [[Null numbers|Null]] 0.5 release number. The packaging credited the music to Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails, and listed [[Charlie Clouser]], [[Robin Finck]], [[Danny Lohner]], and [[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 on December 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.

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.

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.
