As influential and great as the NIN soundtrack for Quake was, I personally preferred Primus's "Pork Soda" as a quite literal drop-in replacement.

The original soundtrack was shipped as regular redbook cd audio: the game was installed to the hard drive and would happily play music from whatever disc was in the CDROM drive.

This is really cool, but good lord, why does the NIN website need to format the ENTIRE TEXT IN CAPS? I get it for headings, but a long text post like this...

Agreed. They wanted to include these texts as booklet, but there were some legal issues apparently. The print-ready files are available here (no CAPS): https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2486/0276/files/QUAKE_essa...

Seems like the text is removed now and the link just goes to NIN store homepage. Here's the archived link: https://web.archive.org/web/20200916172127/https://www.nin.c...
