The Video Game Soda Machine Project

Back in 1995

February 19, 2018 decafjedi Back in 1995

I love the concept behind Back in 1995, a faithful recreation of PlayStation 1-era survival horror and mystery games — soda machines and all! Here’s the same scene with CRT emulation enabled for maximum nostalgia…

Special Forces: Nemesis Strike

February 19, 2018 decafjedi Special Forces: Nemesis Strike

Special Forces: Nemesis Strike is yet another covert ops game with what sounds like a bunch of cool action-y words strung together at random, but you can’t fault its vending options.

Majestic Nights

February 19, 2018 decafjedi Majestic Nights

I’m just going to assume Majestic Nights is set in the same universe as Aerosmith’s Revolution X since both games feature Choke Cola machines.

Shadow Harvest: Phantom Ops

Enjoy the refreshing taste of Ting (made with real Jamaican grapefruits!) in Shadow Harvest: Phantom Ops, an espionage game for Windows.

Crackdown

February 19, 2018 decafjedi Crackdown Series

The super cops in Crackdown for the Xbox 360 can easily leap over soda machines in a single bound!

T.R.A.G.: Tactical Rescue Assault Group – Mission of Mercy

February 18, 2018 decafjedi T.R.A.G.: Tactical Rescue Assault Group

T.R.A.G.: Tactical Rescue Assault Group – Mission of Mercy (also known as Hard Edge in Europe and Japan) belongs to the popular PS1 subgenre of games with pre-rendered backgrounds where the camera angle changes constantly and messes up which direction you’re running. Also, soda machines.

Go! Go! Nippon! ~My First Trip to Japan~

Is that a WcDonald’s across the street from the soda machines? Thanks for the screenshot, Ironicus!

Ame no Marginal – Rain Marginal –

February 18, 2018 decafjedi Ame no Marginal

Ame No Marginal – Rain Marginal – is a visual novel set in a world of endless rain. Occasionally, something interesting washes ashore — like this cola machine. Thanks, Cornelius!

Puppet War

February 16, 2018 decafjedi Puppet War

Puppet War is a revolutionary FPS (first-puppet shooter) for iOS. Please try to ignore the naked Muppet charging at me in this screenshot and focus instead on the soda machine with that same naked Muppet’s smiling gob on it.

Naruto Online

February 16, 2018 decafjedi Naruto Series

Based on my observation, the starting village in Naruto Online boasts somewhere in the neighborhood of a 50:1 ninja/soda machine ratio.

Forgotten Memories: Alternate Realities

February 16, 2018 decafjedi Forgotten Memories: Alternate Realities

Forgotten Memories: Alternate Realities is a Silent Hill-esque game set in an asylum full of creepy mannequins (some of which, needless to say, come to life and attack the protagonist). That said, nothing steadies the nerves after a jump scare like an ice-cold soda!
