Narcissu 10th Anniversary Anthology Project
If by “always do things this way,” you mean “obsessively collect screenshots of video game soda machines,” the answer is yes. Thanks, Cornelius!

Rolling Ronny
Our eponymous hero leaps over a soda machine in the Atari ST version of Rolling Ronny. Here’s the Commodore 64 release for comparison…
Thanks for the tip, BenBax!
RICO
There’s a Super Chill soda machine hiding behind this neon bullet storm in Ground Shatter’s upcoming FPS, RICO!
The Long Reach
According to its description on Steam, The Long Reach “misuses stunning pixel art to create gruesome and unsettling images.” Well, as far as I’m concerned, there’s nothing gruesome or unsettling about these soda machines. Thanks, Pablo!
Dog’s Life
The US release of Dog’s Life for the PS2 includes Frontier soda machines (named after the developer, Frontier Developments). However, the European version swaps in Pedigree branding, which raises the question: Is it a dog food vending machine, or does Pedigree soda exist in the Dog’s Life-iverse?
Thanks to Frank Cifaldi for the submission! Check out the incredible work he’s doing over at The Video Game History Foundation.
Domestic Dog Simulator
Pupsi has that rich meaty taste puppies crave from a soft drink in Domestic Dog Simulator! Thanks for the submission, Bob!
Boo Bunny Plague
Boo Bunny Plague stars a robotic rabbit toy given artificial life by a computer virus. While Bunny grapples with this existential crisis, might I recommend a refreshing soda? Thanks, Cornelius!
The Ables: Freepoint High
Emily from The Ables: Freepoint High is an “Absorber” who can steal other characters’ super powers. I wonder if she can absorb this soda machine’s awesome drink dispensing abilities. Thanks, Dave!
Command & Conquer: Renegade
Maybe this soda brand from Command & Conquer: Renegade already has a name in C&C lore, but I’m going to go ahead and call it Tiberian Sunkist.
Désiré
Désiré is a point-and-click adventure game that describes itself as a critique of “the perverting nature of a consumer, profit-obsessed society.” Why not forget about all that and enjoy a soft drink instead? Thanks for the screenshot, Cornelius!
