Metal Max
If there’s a takeaway from The Video Game Soda Machine Project, it’s that soda machines will absolutely survive the apocalypse. This screenshot from Metal Max for the NES is just further evidence of their durability.

Shoujo City
The soft drink machine in this screenshot from Shoujo City is the main attraction (obviously), but that frozen watermelon cone from the ice cream machine looks delicious!
Rainbow Six Siege
If I assigned ratings to soda machines here at The Video Game Soda Machine Project, this one from Rainbow Six Siege would easily earn a full five out of five stars.
I can’t be certain, but this second vending machine looks like it probably sold snacks and not soda. Still, it’s just too adorable not to post.
Thanks for the screenshots, ReverendTed!
THE iDOLM@STER Platinum Stars
We only get a side view of this soft drink machine from THE iDOLM@STER Platinum Stars, but that’s better than no soft drink machine at all. Thanks, SalarymanDaishi!
Scrap Garden
Canny the robot encounters a dilapidated cold drinks machine in Scrap Garden, a post-apocalyptic puzzle platformer. Thanks for sending this in, Cornelius!
Alcatraz: Prison Escape
It’s not a bad soda machine, per se, but ArctiCola pales in comparison to the Zombie Zoda machines found elsewhere in Alcatraz: Prison Escape. Thanks for the screenshot, Albert!
Card City Nights 2
This wacky vending machine from Card City Nights 2 not only talks, but also boasts a C: prompt and WASD controls!
DC Universe Online
In addition to repairing gear, this vending machine from DC Universe Online also dispenses Soder Cola. Thanks for the screenshot, chipzes!
True Lies
Secret agent Harry Tasker pauses in front of a drink machine in True Lies for the Sega Genesis! You can compare this with the SNES version that’s already in the archive.
Amazing Katamari Damacy
Amazing Katamari Damacy, the new roll ’em up for Android and iOS, reminds us that trippy cosmic soda machines are the best soda machines. Thanks for the screenshot, Jonah!
Sticky Rolls
Roll over stuff — including this soda machine — and add it to your ever-expanding sphere of clutter in Sticky Rolls, a Katamari-inspired mobile game. Thanks, Jonah!
Batman Forever: The Arcade Game
The soda machine in the DOS port of Batman Forever: The Arcade Game gets a slightly different paint job than what’s seen in other versions of the game.
Can You Escape – Armageddon
Sure, there’s an asteroid speeding toward Earth in Can You Escape – Armageddon, but I’d prefer to focus on this excellent Walrus Soda vending machine. Walrus Soda—the only soda made for, by, and from walruses!
