Half-Life

September 3, 2026 decafjedi Half-Life Series

A Pepsi machine texture from a 1998 prototype build of Half-Life

This Pepsi vending machine texture was included Half-Life’s prototype Build 725 (a.k.a. Beta 12 or Net Test 2). I don’t think it appeared during gameplay (Valve had switched to its generic soda machines by that point), but the texture is still tucked away in the files.

Notably, other pre-release Half-Life prototypes featured Coca-Cola vending machines.
