The CD version of Quarantine includes a great soundtrack, featuring 11 Australian bands. There is no mention of this soundtrack in the manual, and there is only a brief/incomplete credit list at the end of the game. Here, then, is the complete soundtrack listing:

01. Berlin Chair         - You Am I
02. The Driver Is You    - The Fauves
03. The Wahooti Fandango - Custard
04. Ingrown              - Smudge
05. Lie Down Forever     - Godstar
06. Snail Trail          - Screamfeeder
07. Uranium Watch        - The Daisygrinders
08. Weak Will            - Underground Lovers
09. Whirlwind            - Hellmenn
10. Yellow Beam          - Crow
11. Now You Know         - Sidewinder


You can buy CDs by (nearly all of) these bands at Greg's Music World: http://www.musicworld.com.au/




GameTek released a sequel in 1995: "Quarantine II: Road Warrior".
