There will be plenty of time for ramen later. For now, let’s focus instead on this soda machine from Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm.


Time travelers have erased the sport of soccer from history in Inazuma Eleven GO 2: Chrono Stone for the Nintendo 3DS! Take solace in the fact that, even in this dystopian alternate timeline, humankind’s advances in beverage vending technology remain unassailable.

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 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.

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.

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

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 (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.

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