Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass
I don’t recommend shaking down the vending machines in Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass for cash. You wouldn’t like them when they’re angry.
Honestly, a gorilla crushing lightning bolts sounds pretty awesome. Put me down for a six-pack of Xtreme Thunder.
Later in the game, there’s also a high-level version of the Vendotron called the Vendomax. In addition to snacks, it vends Boom Pop and Energy Rex.
Thanks for the screenshots, Dominic!
Persona 2: Innocent Sin

Shrek storms the castle in Shrek the Third on Wii, only to discover a vending machine that dispenses barrels of whatever the G-rated equivalent of grog is. Here’s the same scene from the PlayStation Portable release…

Look, I was okay with the Xenomorphs mercilessly killing everyone on board my space station in Alien: Isolation, but I absolutely draw the line at harming innocent soda machines. Thanks for the screenshot, JackMontegue!
