===Alternate Track Titles===There are in fact no Until the 2020 release, the official names for these the trackswere unknown, as they remain were untitled in the accompanying game literature.[http://www.nincatalog.com/item.asp?key=01items-with-official-tracks/quake-us-cd-904141230/] They can be 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 leads led 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, 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.

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 mentions something called [[Nothing Interactive]], an entity that has not never been to referred to before on any other NIN or since[[Nothing Records]] product.
