Actually, I would call most of those images 'homages.'
Having played most of Ambrosia's games, I've noticed that they've
been making subtle references to the Marathon series for years.

And, yes, I would say it's out of respect, as Ambrosia has been sort of
following in Bungie's footsteps as a sort of 'fellow mac games company' thing.

While I agree that the artists responsible for Ferazel's Wand could have made
the game much more origional and interesting by not throwing Marathon references
around, especially as they do not work for Bungie, it didn't really upset me so much as make me laugh.

I mean, if I got into the Mac games market, I feel I would have to throw in a
Marathon reference or two (perhaps a little less blatently obvious). It's sort of a cult thing. On the other hand, there are a lot of people on the Ambrosia webboard who have no idea what I'm talking about when I say FBTVC...

Still, there are those who understand it when I say DMUKYA.
