Say what you will about Abstergo Industries, but you can’t fault their vending machine aesthetics in Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. As seen below, the same machine later reappears in Assassin’s Creed Rogue.

Geist
Geist for GameCube — finally, a game that lets me turn into a ghost and possess a soda machine!
This whole sequence is a great example of Geist’s puzzle-solving gameplay. The protagonist possesses the soda machine, rattles it to shoot out some soda cans, dispossesses the machine, possesses one of the cans, rolls it across the room, and pops it open to freak out a scientist. Take a look…

Revolution X
Revolution X, a 1994 rail shooter starring Aerosmith, makes what I can only assume is a vague attempt at satirizing consumer culture with this Choke Cola machine. According to lead guitarist Joe Perry’s pixelated in-game counterpart, the New Order Nation is sneaking dangerous chemicals into our food and drink as part of some ill-defined scheme to take over the world. Only you—and the band responsible for “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing”—can stop them!
This screenshot is from the game’s PlayStation 1 release.
