Taking into account palette swaps and various advertising placards, it turns out there are a bunch of soda machines in Let It Die. Check out this lineup…
Thanks for your diligent work, Tikhon!

Space Pilgrim Academy: Year 3
The blue Superjuice machine featured in this screenshot from Space Pilgrim Academy is already in the archives, but the green version is new. Just remember to drink responsibly…
Thanks for the screenshots, Cornelius!
Webkinz World
It’s a trio of soda machines from Webkinz World, a virtual world tied to the Webkinz line of plush toys. Kids can log on with a secret code included with their plush toys, play games, earn KinzCash, and unlock rare items like these vending machines.
Sneaky Cadet: Day 2
I’m a super spy in search of some spare change for the soda machine in point-and-click browser adventure Sneaky Cadet: Day 2!
Fun Hospital
Fun Hospital is a free-to-play game inspired by Bullfrog’s classic Theme Hospital. In place of Theme Hospital’s Kit Kat-branded vending machines, Fun Hospital offers a vaguely futuristic 360° soft drink experience.
Artificial Death
Artificial Death is a deck-building/robot-fighting game, and one of the base robot models is a soda machine! You can customize it from there to create death-dealing contraptions like the Steam Soda Machine of Vampirism or the Creepy Soda Machine of Speed.
Thanks for finding this one, Cornelius!
No More Room in Hell
If these vending machines from No More Room in Hell are accurate, Hell sounds pretty awful. [Source]
Counter-Strike Nexon: Zombies
Counter-Strike Nexon: Zombies is an adaptation of Counter-Strike Online, a follow-up to Counter-Strike developed by Valve specifically for the Asian market. Does Counter-Strike: Nexon Zombies have soda machines? You bet your rotting rear-end it does!
I wasn’t able to track down this next one myself, but several players were kind enough to upload screenshots of it to CSN:Z’s Steam Community. That said, I’m not sure if I’d drink anything from this particular soda machine. It looks dangerous.
Several soda machines from elsewhere in the Counter-Strike series also appear in CSN:Z, as seen below…
A Boy and His Blob DS
Majesco completed a sequel to A Boy and His Blob for the Nintendo DS back in 2005, but never released it due to financial problems. Luckily, a few screenshots have survived, including this subway scene featuring Dr. Blob, Blob Rite, and Expensive Water drink machines. [Source]
Let It Die
Faced with a difficult choice, Graham throws his support behind the blue soda machine in Let It Die. Thanks for the screenshot, Tikhon!
Wholesome Cats
Wholesome Cats invites us to discover the secrets of Cat Island and meet more than 50 cats, including “magic cats, dessert cats, thicc cats, & one (1) smol borker.” That’s great and all, but what do a bunch of cats need with a soda machine?
Thanks for the screenshot, Cornelius!
WWF Royal Rumble
As far as wrestling games go, WWF Royal Rumble for the Dreamcast is a weird one. Occasionally, in the middle of a match, the lights will go out in the ring, and the wrestlers will reappear in a random backstage area. If you’re lucky, you’ll rematerialize in front of this soda machine.
Thanks for the tip, RomanOnARiver!
WWE 2K18/WWE 2K19
Suplex your thirst with this backstage soda machine in WWE 2K18! Unfortunately, it’s suffered a little battle damage in the screenshot below.
Thanks to Some-Crappy-Edits on Reddit for the screenshots!
UPDATE: WWE 2K19 recycles the same backstage areas — along with a familiar smashed-up soda machine.
Thanks for the screenshot, SixPointTwentyFive!
Biz Builder Delux
I appreciate games like Biz Builder Delux that respect a player’s time enough to feature a soda machine right smack dab on the title screen. For what it’s worth, a different soda machine appears on the title screen of the Western release.
Neon Genesis Evangelion: Girlfriend of Steel 2nd
This row of vending machines appears in Neon Genesis Evangelion: Girlfriend of Steel 2nd for the PlayStation Portable. I especially like the non-trademark-infringing “Peps” logo.
