Before Halo on the Xbox, before Oni on the PlayStation 2, there was Super Marathon on the ill-fated Bandai Pippin.

Worth a mention today for a couple of reasons-- Bungie's David "Evil Otto" Candland pointed it out today on Twitter, and the Activision contract gives Bungie the opportunity to start work on a Marathon title if certain milestones are met...

For the curious, @Bungie's first console title was Super Marathon, released exclusively for the Bandai Pippin.
