The Video Game Soda Machine Project

YAGS

The university game room in YAGS, a visual novel/dating sim, has it all: DDR, foosball, a Sonic the Hedgehog pinball table, and even a pair of soda machines! Thanks for the screenshot, Kaiju!

Mudflat

Mudflat, a “stack and weld discarded junk to hold back the incoming tide” survival sim, offers exactly the kind of post-apocalyptic soda machine lore I crave from a video game. Thanks for the screenshots, Cornelius!

Ride 2

“Over 170 bikes are the undisputed protagonists of the new chapter of this long-waited two-wheel racing game,” claims the official product description for Ride 2. If that’s true, how do you explain the fact that I’m far more interested in what these soda machines have to offer?

Thanks for the screenshots, Cornelius!

Life Up Here

Life Up Here describes itself as “Animal Crossing meets Grand Theft Auto,” which is a compelling elevator pitch if I’ve ever heard one. The laundry room vending machine pictured here dispenses soda, lemonade, water, and speed-boosting NRG Soda.
