Metropolismania
The first thing I built in Metropolismania for the PS2 was this lovely stationery store. Now that my city has paper goods and a soda machine, new residents should start arriving any minute…

Freedom Fighters
Soviet forces may have occupied America in Freedom Fighters for the PlayStation 2, but they’ll never take away our BooZoo Cola!
LEGO Worlds
LEGO Worlds added a 1950s diner as DLC last month, and the set includes this retro soda machine!
Dream Town Story
I successfully researched the abstract concept of “Ramen Bar” in Dream Town Story and, much to my surprise, unlocked the secrets of soda machine technology in the process.
Raw Danger!
Raw Danger! is a disaster survival sim for the PlayStation 2. For example, in the screenshot above, the protagonist is in serious danger of becoming a little too refreshed.
Gang Beasts
Welcome, Gang Beasts, to the bustling meatropolis of Beef City! Would you care to sample an ice-cold Beef Soda? Or perhaps you’d prefer a refreshing Meat Co. Cola…
Thanks, Autumn!
LEGO City: Undercover
LEGO City: Undercover features all four kinds of vending machines: coffee, soda, dynamite, and doughnut. Thanks for the screenshot, Cornelius!
Hatred
I’d rush into a burning building to save this soda machine from Hatred!
Konbini
Konbini is an indie vignette game that invites players to explore the narrator’s memories of an abandoned convenience store. Feed coins into the vending machine to hear the narrator reminisce about an especially memorable citrus drink. Here’s an even more minimalist take on the soda machine from the title screen…
Subway Surfers
In 2013, Subway Surfers introduced Tokyo as a limited-time destination in its World Tour mode. In these screenshots, Harumi surfs past a variety of soda machines.
Having never visited Tokyo myself, I can’t speak to the accuracy of the “one soda machine stacked on top of another” configuration.
