The Video Game Soda Machine Project
Obsessively Cataloging Video Game "Pop" Culture
The prototype version of Resident Evil 2 (a.k.a. BioHazard/Resident Evil 1.5) featured a Pepsi machine in place of the final release’s generic soda machines. Thanks for the screenshot, @expaja!
While the Coca-Soda machine in the screenshots below wasn’t part of Capcom’s Resident Evil 1.5, dedicated fans patched it in later in their quest to “complete” the prototype.
Zombies, schmombies! I want to know who broke into that soda machine.
Claire pauses near a “Super Cold” soda machine in Resident Evil Code: Veronica X!
Forget about the flesh-eating zombies; check out that soda machine in Resident Evil 2!
Curiously, this soda machine is replaced with a “Regular Coffee” vending machine in certain version of Resident Evil 2. For example, the screenshot below was taken from the “Fourth Survivor” game mode in the Sourcenext Edition of RE2.
Another soda machine in Resident Evil 3! I still haven’t found a screenshot of the elusive ChoCho Cola yet.
Jill Valentine pushes a stepladder toward a soda machine in Resident Evil 3! The same model later appears in the streets of Raccoon City, piled on top of a police roadblock.
Trish (presumably named after the character from Capcom’s Devil May Cry series) may be my favorite fictional video game beverage name yet!
