Heavy Fire: Afghanistan
This soda machine offers a fleeting moment of refreshment during the battle to liberate an air base in Heavy Fire: Afghanistan, a 2011 on-rails shooter. Thanks, Chris!

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
When it comes to archiving screenshots of video game soda machines, I stand prepared to answer the Call of Duty. [Source]
Men in Black: The Series – Crashdown
♫ Here come the Men in Black, generic soda assets. ♫
This trio of vending machines is from Men in Black: The Series – Crashdown for the PlayStation.
Splinter Cell
Sam Fisher pauses to admire a cola machine while infiltrating the Georgian Defense Ministry in Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell for the Game Boy Advance.
Citizens: Backwater Affairs
Citizens: Backwater Affairs is an unreleased DOS game from MicroProse that I would clumsily describe as The Sims meets Jones in the Fast Lane. In this screenshot from the demo, you can spot a couple of soda machines at the gas station behind Greasy Joe’s diner.
Thanks for bringing this one to my attention, Anatoly!
Avatar High
Avatar High was a browser-based high school sim hosted by TeenNick a few years back. I saw KristenHasClaws mention the game on my Twitter timeline this morning, decided to do a little digging, and hey — it turns out there’s a soda machine!
Contagion VR: Outbreak
There’s nothing like an effervescent Fiz to take your mind off the zombie apocalypse in Contagion VR: Outbreak.
Assassin’s Creed III
The best part about the modern-day component of the Assassin’s Creed franchise is the increased incidence of vending machines — like this standard-issue soda/snack combo from Assassin’s Creed III. Thanks for the screenshot, Sheenasa!
Pickers
Why is a vintage soda machine propped up behind an abandoned school bus in the middle of the desert in hidden-object junk-’em-up Pickers? Also, where can I collect my $1,220? Thanks for the submission, Cornelius!
Aliens Versus Predator
If there’s one thing Xenomorphs, Predators, and Colonial Marines can all agree on, it’s the refreshing taste of an ice-cold Fizzy Pop! This machine appears in the 1999 PC shooter Aliens Versus Predator.
LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham
Plastic Man morphs into a vending machine in LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham. This raises so many questions.
Trap
Soda machines on a train? That’s not something you see every day. Thanks for the submission, Cornelius!
Destiny 2
The only thing better than a soda machine screenshot is a soda machine selfie. Thanks for submitting this one from Destiny 2, Professor Matthew!
The Saint: Abyss of Despair
Buy a drink from this soda machine, spike it with sleeping pills, and use it to knock out the local sheriff in The Saint: Abyss of Despair. That seems quasi-legal at best.
Thanks for the submission, Cornelius!
