Vending Machine Timeless Fun : AR Core
Vending Machine Timeless Fun : AR Core allows you take an interactive vending machine with you anywhere you go, whether it’s a trip to the bowling alley, a visit to an actual soda machine, or just hanging out your own backyard!
Why does this app exist? Let’s take a look at the official product description…
AR is getting more popular by the day, try it out now!
Vending Machine Timeless Fun: AR Core has given you the opportunity to try out real AR! AR means Augmented Reality and basically gives you a fusion or mixture between the “real”world and the 3D simulated world.
That’s nice, but what can i do with this, you say?
Have you ever walked by a Vending Machine in thought: “Man, i really want that soda right about now” and hadn’t had enough cash on you to buy that can of soda. Now you can just turn on your smartphone and put up Vending Machine Timeless Fun: AR Core to buy this can of soda in the same environment that the real life Vending Machine is in!
Game Features Vending Machine Timeless Fun : AR Core
Real Augmented Reality experience combined with Vending Machine gameplay!
Unlock multiple vending machines to really shake things up!

I think that clears everything up. Thanks to Kevin, Jamison, Matt, Mappy, and bones for grabbing screenshots!
Double Dragon II
It always seemed like there must be a soda machine lurking somewhere in the Double Dragon series, and I finally found these in Double Dragon II for the Game Boy!
Of course, it’s worth noting that the Game Boy release of Double Dragon II was actually a re-skin (soda machines and all) of Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun: Bangai Rantōhen, an entry in the Kunio/Nekketsu High series.
Yet again, soda machines provide a unique window into video game history.
SWAT 3: Tactical Game of the Year Edition
As soon as I found out there were soda machines in SWAT 3: Tactical Game of the Year Edition, I rapidly deployed DarthHelmet86 and Newman. They came back from the operation with these screenshots.
Thanks for the screenshots!
Gore: Ultimate Soldier
I love everything about this promotional blurb for Gore: Ultimate Solider, a 2002 FPS for Windows: “Anarchy reigns on Earth and you must train in the MEAT MACHINE to prove yourself.” Of course, with all that MEAT MACHINE training, you’ll need to stay properly hydrated.
WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010
Weird…I can’t see Triple H’s opponent in that screenshot. Must be a glitch.
Anyway, WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 for the Nintendo DS features a variety of Raw, SmackDown, and ECW themed soda machines in its backstage areas.
Thanks, GRANDDADWHATTHE!
A Way Out
Check out the split screen soda machine action in A Way Out, a prison escape ’em up from Hazelight Studios. Thanks for the screenshot, Dan!
Skull Cracker
Korpse-a-Cola gives Penelope “Bonebreaker” Jones the energy boost she needs to battle the zombie hordes in Skull Cracker, a 1996 brawler for Macintosh and Windows. Let’s take a closer look…
What’s not to love about a soda named Sewage? Thanks for the screenshots, Duncan!
Metal Gear Solid Mobile
When it comes to refreshment, these guards are the only thing standing in Solid Snake’s way in Metal Gear Solid Mobile, a 2008 N-Gage game. Thanks for the screenshots, FedoraMark! [Source]

These vending machines shoot deadly soda cans at the player in Crowtel Renovations, Steam’s number one crow-based hotel remodeling sim. Thanks, Foone!

Play games, collect tickets, win prizes, and chug a few cans of Devotid Dew in The Coin Game!
Hot Lava
When the floor is Hot Lava, there’s nothing quite like an ice-cold Shock-Pop or Carbo Cola! Thanks for the submission, Magnus_HUN.
Stick it to The Man!
Rage against the soda machine in Stick it to The Man! Thanks for the screenshot, Magnus_HUN!
Greed: Black Border
Don’t worry — there’s plenty of soda for everyone in action RPG Greed: Black Border! Thanks for the screenshot, Cornelius. [Source]
Zombies Ate My Neighbors
Hey, it’s a new color variation on the soda machine from Zombies Ate My Neighbors for the SNES!
Dreamfall Chapters
Whether it’s The Longest Journey series or The Secret World, Bingo! soda is a fixture in designer Ragnar Tørnquist’s games. So, it’s not surprising to see a Bingo! machine pop up in Dreamfall Chapters. The texture is a bit wonky for some reason, but the billboard pictured below offers a clearer view of the soda’s mascot, the Bingo Dingo.
While the vending machines in the next screenshot don’t boast an anthropomorphic canine mascot, they nevertheless offer a variety of snacks and drinks, including “carbonated tequila shots.” How refreshing!
Thanks, Syndarr!
Radical Heights
With the classic taste of Fiz, you’re sure to be the last man standing in battle royale shooter Radical Heights. Let’s take a closer look at the selection (while trying to ignore the fact that one soda machine is inexplicably clipping through the other).
Thanks for the screenshots, Richard and Cornelius!
Far Cry 5
The Adventures of Square
It’s a trio of soda machines from The Adventures of Square. Let’s see, there’s Fizzo Pop, Cubi Cola, and PowerZade (I think). Thanks for the submission, Adamant!
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
New! One hundred percent ice-cold! Heart-pounding caffeine! What’s not to love about these soda machines from Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory?
Thanks, Darren!
Fortnite
Thanks to Fortnite’s latest update, health-replenishing Chug Jugs are finally available the way God intended: from vending machines. Here’s the same machine from a slightly less ridiculous camera angle.
And we can’t forget Slurp Juice, pictured below in a screenshot from Fortnite for iOS.
Anark.io
New York’s hottest club is Anark.io. This place has everything: potted plants, randomly spawned wooden crates, soda and snack machines, burlesque dancers, and that thing where you replace a cat’s scratching post with a stainless steel pole.
Thanks for the submission, Pablo!
Startup Freak
Successful software companies run on caffeine, so it’s a good thing the break room from Startup Freak features both soda and espresso machines. Thanks for the screenshot, Pablo!
The Reject Demon: Toko
Look past the lanky woman and the facade of a fast food joint, and you’ll spot a couple of soda machines in the background of this screenshot from The Reject Demon: Toko. Thanks for the screenshot, Cornelius!
