Obsessively Cataloging Video Game "Pop" Culture

Swing by the Neo-Rama Game Center in OK K.O.! Let’s Play Heroes and indulge in two the life’s greatest joys: video games and soda machines.

Soda machines are scattered throughout Escapee GO!, a 2010 DSiWare game about a young woman locked away in an insane asylum by an evil company known only as… The Company.
My Yelp review of the Banoi Island Resort from Dead Island: “Under constant threat of violent murder by undead. Swimming pool filled with blood of fellow guests. Plenty of soda machines on premises. Three stars, would stay again.”
For what it’s worth, Dead Island’s concept art featured a Coca-Cola machine instead of the generic energy drink machine that appears above.

Step up to the plate and hit a line drive at this Explodz energy drink machine from Baseball Riot!

What to choose: BlackHole Cola or ZeroG Punch?

Strangely, these unused 3D models appear in the code for Mega Man Battle Network 5 for the DS—strangely because MMBN5 is a 2D game. Anyway, there’s a 7-Eleven (which seems a bit out of place in the Mega Man universe) and a bunch of soda machines. [Source]

I just realized I have a soda machine from the Mega Man Legends beta in the archive, but I didn’t have one from the final release. So, here it is!

Choo, choooo! Hop aboard the soda machine train with Mega Man Battle Network 6!

Nilin is on a quest to recover her lost memories in Remember Me. Is this soda machine the key to unlocking a cherished recollection hidden deep in the corridors of her mind? Probably not!
Thanks, Cornelius!

I guess Michelle is just too cool for soda in Mercury: Cascade Into Madness.

Thanks for the screenshots, Cornelius!

Check out this soda machine from Dead Matter, an upcoming “rogue-lite” zombie apocalypse sandbox survival game. For what it’s worth, Teeth Poison is officially in the running for my favorite video game soda brand of all time. Here’s another soda machine from the game’s trailer…


Haunted Halls: Revenge of Doctor Blackmore describes itself as “mind-bending journey into the realm of the weird.” Specifically, prepare to have your mind bent during a layover in the realm of Chernobyl, where the player encounters this weird soda machine.


This scene from Escape the Museum requires the player to pour a can of soda on a live fuse box to unlock a security door. That hardly seems safe.
