There’s nothing more exciting than discovering a bunch of video game soda machines, which is probably how Bowling Xciting for the PlayStation 2 got its name.

Rise to Honor
Jet Li sneaks up on some soda machines in Rise to Honor for the PlayStation 2.
Deep Dungeons of Doom
As always, it is the official policy of the Video Game Soda Machine Project to treat potions as “fantasy soda,” so this potion vending machine from Deep Dungeons of Doom makes the cut. Thanks for the submission, Dungeon Facts!
Real Heroes: Firefighter
I’m sure there will be plenty of time to evacuate this movie theater in Real Heroes: Firefighter after I’ve extinguished my thirst with a refreshing soda.
MOE Can Change! -Me & MyRoid-
MOE Can Change! -Me & MyRoid- is an mobile dress-up game with a bunch of palette-swapped soda machines. Thanks for submitted these screenshots, Maleni!
Rakuen
Life is tough for a dog on the streets in Rakuen, a fantastical role-playing adventure.
Tomb Raider Chronicles
This Marquee Cola machine appears in the beta version of Tomb Raider Chronicles. It was replaced by a FizWiz Cola machine in the final release. Curiously, the same Marquee branding also appears in V.I.P. for the PlayStation 2. [Source]
Halo 5: Guardians
Click this soda machine from Halo 5: Guardians a bunch of times to unlock a soccer match Easter egg.
Minority Report: Everybody Runs
Captain John Anderton, I’m placing you under arrest for the future vandalism of this soda machine from Minority Report: Everybody Runs for the PS2.
See? The precogs are never wrong.
V.I.P.
V.I.P. for the PlayStation 2 (based on the Pamela Anderson television series of the same name) combines on-rails shooting with quick time event combat in a way that almost works. That said, Marquee Premium Cool is an above-average fictional soda name.
The Mini-Skirt Police
The Mini-Skirt Police for PlayStation 2 does exactly what it says on the tin — with the added bonus of vending machines!
Headhunter
If Headhunter for the PS2 has taught me anything, it’s that nothing washes away the pain of a brutally unforgiving stealth shooter like an ice-cold Sunny. I have no idea why the vending machine is only four feet tall.
Just for fun, here’s an advertisement for Must Power Drink that appear on Headhunter’s loading screens.
Kim Possible: What the Switch?
Kim’s hunt for the nefarious Professor Dementor leads her to Japan and this lineup of stylized soda machines in Kim Possible: What’s the Switch? for the PlayStation 2.
Justice League Heroes
I guess you could say Martian Manhunter is really J’onzz-ing for a soda in this screenshot from Justice League Heroes for the PlayStation 2.
Persona 4 Golden
After writing 1,650 of these blurbs to accompany screenshots here at The Video Game Soda Machine Project, I can appreciate the simplicity of “found a vending machine.” Thanks, Tikhon!
