Game
Quake is another FPS of major importance. From the same group that brought to Wolfenstein and DOOM, you now get a much more impressive 3D environment. Dynamic lighting, stackable sectors, 3D sprites, and plenty of other advances make Quake technically superior to any 3D game before it. The game is an FPS, so ignore story, just run around and shoot stuff. Quake was also released as GLQuake (using OpenGL) and WinQuake (for Windows). The screenshots are from WinQuake, but the soundtrack was the same for each release.
Music
id Software was clever enough to get the industrial Nine Inch Nails master himself--Trent Reznor to create their music and sound effects. Although his work on the game's soundtrack wasn't on par with his normal album music, it did provide a much more professional sounding soundtrack than another MIDI set ever could. Also, having Reznor create the soundtrack was a major selling point for the game. Basically, if you like Nine Inch Nails, you'll be able to enjoy this industrial soundtrack. Oddly enough, the game never released an official soundtrack, but since the music could be played via the game disc (provided you skipped track 1) it wasn't really needed.
Ripping
The soundtrack is CD audio on the game disc. It was ripped using CDEX.
