* The SPNKR name would go on to be used for a series of rocket launchers in Halo, although its design would be based on the ''Marathon 2: Durandal'' and ''Marathon Infinity'' variant instead of the design used in the first ''Marathon'' game.
* The SPNKR name would go on to be used for Halo's own rocket launcher, though its design would be based on the Marathon 2 and Infinity variant instead of the design used in the first Marathon game.
* The original SPNKR was nicknamed the Lazyboy as its missiles 'sit' in the launcher, but the nickname did not stick in the later next two games as the design changed.
* The weapon appears in Colony Ship for Sale cheap. But is not accessible.<ref>[https://marathon.bungie.org/spoiler/m1/13.shtml Marathon Spoiler Guide]</ref>
