Manami no Doko made Iku no?
This street scene from Manami no Doko made Iku no? is packed with vending machines. I have a feeling the ones on the right are cigarette vending machines, but the ones on the left definitely look like they dispense drinks. [Source]
The Walking Dead: A New Frontier
There’s nothing like crushing a few buckets of balls down at the old batting cage to take your mind off the impending zombie apocalypse in The Walking Dead: A New Frontier. Thirsty? Treat yourself to an Ace Ginger Cola when you’re finished!
Metropolis Street Racer
I was speeding through Tokyo in Metropolis Street Racer for the Dreamcast when these roadside soda machines caught my eye.
Shirachuu Tankenbu
There’s a trio of soda machines outside the Cafe Barracuda in Shirachuu Tankenbu, a FMV adventure game for the PlayStation 2! Here’s another from the marketplace…
The Simpsons: Hit & Run
¡Ay, caramba! It’s an unused texture for the Buzz Cola machines in The Simpsons: Hit & Run! Of course, the version that actually made it into the game is already in the archive. [Source]
Big City Stories
My avatar in Big City Stories for the PlayStation 4 glitched during an emote, and now her tongue is permanently stuck out. I guess that will make it easier to enjoy a cool, refreshing drink from this humongous soda machine.
Gute Zeiten, Schlechte Zeiten: Flirt und Karriere
If, like me, you’re huge a fan of the long-running German soap opera Gute Zeiten, Schlechte Zeiten, you’ll love this entry. It’s a soda/coffee/snack vending machine from Gute Zeiten, Schlechte Zeiten: Flirt und Karriere (Good Times, Bad Times: Flirt and Career)!
Long Gone Days

In addition to featuring a row of soda machines in the background, this screenshot from Senran Kagura: Burst Re:Newal has me wondering where I can buy some nifty leg holsters for my throwing knives. [Source]

As far as I can gather, The Rare Nine is a game about a J. Jonah Jameson cosplayer who’s being chased around by zombies and occasionally encounters a soda machine.
“Bring me pictures! Pictures of soda machines!”
THE iDOLM@STER ONE FOR ALL
I don’t entirely understand the idol management genre, but I know one thing: THE iDOLM@STER ONE FOR ALL for the PlayStation 3 delivers on drink machines.
MiniCopter: Adventure Flight
Don’t be alarmed! The soft drink machine in these screenshots only seems gigantic because the RC chopper is so tiny in MiniCopter: Adventure Flight for the Wii. Thanks for the screenshots, Matt!
Hotel Dusk: Room 215
This soda and snack machine from Hotel Dusk: Room 215 for the Nintendo DS truly is a bachelor’s best friend. It’s a little difficult to make out, but the bottom row promises “Cold Drink,” and there’s a Coca-Cola logo visible among the pixelated offerings. Thanks for the screenshot, Chris!
American Corporation
This Caine Classic machine is from American Corporation, an unreleased game from the team that when on to found Demiurge Studios. The drink selection includes Caine, Diet Caine, Shite, and Mountain Goo. Thanks to the fine folks over at Lost Astronaut Games for sending these screenshots my way!
