The [[Marathon]] series began and ended before Oni's release, and was the major source of most new Bungie fans in the ten years before Bungie released Halo. | |||

The first Oni trailer featured [[wikipedia:Marathon (video game)|Marathon]] symbols on the crates (yes, it also took place in a warehouse full of crates :-). In-game, the Marathon symbol can be seen on the hull of the [[TCTF]] computer [[Damocles]] in [[{{C6}}]] and [[{{C13}}]] (see texture TXMPTC_SHCOMP2 as well as [[:Image:Genesis Level8 11.jpg|this concept art]]). Fans certainly did not miss this, so Harry brought it up in [http://oni.bungie.org/special/part1/alex.html his interview with Alex Okita]: | The first Oni trailer featured [[wikipedia:Marathon (video game)|Marathon]] symbols on the crates (yes, it also took place in a warehouse full of crates :-).

Forklifts in the Warehouse are labeled "BALOR", and Balor is the name of a [[wikipedia:Balor|Celtic god]], but it is also the name taken by the incarnation of "the Leveler" in Myth. | Forklifts in the Warehouse are labeled "BALOR", and Balor is the name of a [[wikipedia:Balor|Celtic god]], but it is also the name taken by the incarnation of "the Leveler" in Myth. | ||
