Arcade Spirits
Arcade Spirits is a romantic visual novel set in an alternate timeline where the 1983 video game crash never happened. While I appreciate Gavin’s advice about chasing my dreams, I’m more interested in that break room soda machine.
Let It Die
A pair of soda machines appear during Let It Die’s opening cinematic. You can visit the arcade later to get a closer look at one of them, but try not to disturb this guy. It’s not polite to be a C-C-C-C-Combo Breaker.
Here’s another look at the soda machines above, courtesy of Tikhon…
Check out this entry for a better view of the soda machine that’s cut off on the left edge of this screenshot.

Save a few quarters for the vending machines in arcade management sim Coin-Op Kingdom!
Ring of Elysium
Shred the gnar on your trusty snowboard, rack up a few battle royale kills on the slopes, and chill out with a Europacola in Ring of Elysium. In other words, it’s basically the Winter X Games version of the biathlon. Thanks for the heads-up on this one, Newman!

Visceral Games slipped a reference to their other franchise into Battlefield Hardline in the form of a Dead Space-inspired Sun Cola machine!

These drink machines appear in The Hunted (a.k.a. Chernaja Metka, a.k.a. Traque, a.k.a. Black Label), a Russian FPS heavily inspired by Condemned: Criminal Origins. Thanks for the screenshots, Albert!

The Interstellar Treaty Organization from tactical FPS Interstellar Marines apparently has its own brand of soda. I wonder if NATO has anything similar. Thanks for the tip on this one, SolarPlugin! [Source]
Battlefield 3
Hey, it’s an empty vending machine from the Operation Métro map in Battlefield 3! If you look in the background, you’ll notice advertisements for Fragmenté soda, “une nouvelle boisson pour un nouveau monde.”
SimCity 4
I’m not sure if this building from SimCity 4 is a motel or a café, but I’m certain that’s a white vending machine standing in front of it.
I’m also pretty sure that’s a soda machine beside the door of the white building in the screenshot below.
SimCity
The red and blue vending machines outside this gas station suggest the Cola Wars are still being waged on the streets of SimCity. Here’s a closer look…

They’re a bit difficult to spot even at maximum zoom, but install a first-person mod, and you’ll discover a pair of cola machines behind the Big Bite in Cities: Skylines!
Two Point Hospital
The luxury drink machine in Two Point Hospital is stocked with Moose Juice, “the most densely organic substance on the planet.” There’s a lot to unpack in that sentence. [Source]
