| - File:Quake1.gif File:Globe.png Aftershock for Quake or Aftershock is a commercial add-on for Quake developed by HeadGames Publishing, Inc. and published by GT Interactive. This add-on was released on November 10, 1996. Besides adding custom levels, this add-on also includes a .PAK file manager called XPAK as an attempt to promote a more secure method of editing game files. A beta version of THRED, a Quake map editor made by Jim Lowell and John Mavor, is included. THRED was unsupported on the Aftershock disk due to being a pre-public beta release. This editor was HeadGame's secret weapon, while commercialized heavily prior to the release of the commercial add-on, Mavor was paid to not release the editor so that Aftershock for Quake would have a technological advantage over other companies. There is also a Deluxe Edition with 50 exclusive standalone levels. However, despite being a "deluxe" edition, it only contains those 50 levels and not the three episodes or the THRED editor included in the regular edition. The main text file for the game includes various tips for the Weapons and Enemies of the game. There is also a small portion dedicated to the most common Console Commands. The text file also manages to compile a complete list of Secrets for the Base Game.
