If I were making a game called Industrial Spy: Operation Espionage, one of the levels would be an elaborate heist to steal the secret recipe for Coca-Cola. In this case of this Dreamcast title, though, we’ll have to settle for the developers including a soda machine. Thanks, foone!

It’s a “Spite” soda machine from Scud: The Disposable Assassin, a Sega Saturn game about a robot assassin purchased from a vending machine. Thanks for finding this one, Darren!
Oh, and while it’s not technically a soda machine, here’s a shot of the vending machine that dispenses our robot protagonist.


Dino Crisis claims this vending machine dispenses “nutritional drinks,” but those look an awful lot like sodas to me. Thanks, Darren!

Reel describes itself as a “wordless, interactive short-story about an elderly woman,” but that soda machine is the real story here.

X Operations is a freeware FPS inspired by GoldenEye 007 and featuring these fully stocked “shot drink” machines.

It’s a bunch of Hassy vending machines from Illbleed, a survival horror game for the Dreamcast. Thanks for the heads-up on this one, Adrian!
For what it’s worth, Hassy first appeared in Dreamcast launch title Blue Stinger and later showed up in 2065: Read Only Memories.

Look closely and you’ll spot a soda machine in front of the train station in the new Mass Transit DLC for Cities: Skylines!

If you’re catching a train at Canal Street Station in The Darkness, rest assured there’s a fine selection of sodas and snacks available.
