The Video Game Soda Machine Project

True Crime: New York City

The first rule of the underground fight club circuit in True Crime: New York City is don’t talk about fight club. The second rule, oddly enough, is that fight club venues must have a soda machine present at all times.

I especially like the Carbonated Sugar vending machine in this second screenshot.

Thanks for the tip, Jonah!

Sneaky Bears

If you expect to save the world from an army of evil teddy bears, proper hydration is a must! Grab a drink from the Cola Bear machine and kick their furry little butts in Sneaky Bears, a VR action game for the PS4 and Windows. Thanks, Chris!

Home Alone 2: Lost in New York

A small child, abandoned in a dangerous city and pursued by a pair of murderous criminals bent on revenge? Why, it’s the feel-good comedy of 1992! Take your mind off this alarming predicament with a refreshing soda pop in the DOS version of Home Alone 2.

The Genesis port also includes vending machines, but it’s unclear whether or not they sell soda. That said, there’s a bottle sitting on top of the one in this screenshot, and interacting with the machines restores Kevin’s health…so I’ll include it here for good measure.

Thanks, Duncan!
