    New at the Video Game Soda Machine Project: I've just cataloged a Coke machine in Journey to the Center of the Earth, a text adventure from 1978! That makes it the earliest confirmed soda machine in a video game, a full five years before 1983's Catch-A-Coke! More on the discovery below...

    Today at the Video Game Soda Machine Project: Is Crystal Cave the first soda machine ever featured in a video game? Sources suggest the text adventure was released sometime between 1977 and 1980, potentially predating 1978's Journey to the Center of the Earth. Read more at the site...

    I honestly love talking to compulsive liars. Me: "I'm playing Journey to the Center of the Earth DOS" Guy: "I forgot that exists" Me: "Oh really?" Guy: "I beat it once" BS detector through the ROOF. Literally NOBODY will claim to beat that game without complaining about EVERYTHING.

    Am I an idiot for only just realizing Odyssey and Bananza are referencing Jules Verne books? "Around the World in 80 days" and now "Journey to the Center of the Earth" obviously their next game is about Wario's undersea adventures

    /6 When you have access to in-game assets it's really up to your imagination. Journey to the Center of the Earth is a favourite, so I recreated it in-game 😊. I don't think we will have this type of ability in player housing, but one day, you just never know! Thank you for being patient with my spam!

    For those keeping track of these things (i.e., me), the current contenders for the first video game to ever feature a soda machine are: Journey to the Center of the Earth (1978, confirmed) Crystal Cave (1977-1980?) Catch-a-Coke (1983, first graphical soda machine)

    Look, I'm just gonna run Journey to the Center of the Earth DOS allowing cycle speed changes during the run. We normally run the game at 2500 cycles/ms, but for the volcano escape at the end, if you want to match the Amiga speed, you have to lower it to about 200 cycles...

    Anyway, Journey to the Center of the Earth is a fun find for the Video Game Soda Machine Project. It's not every day that you find a new "first ever" soda machine, much less beat the old record by a full five years!

    Hello, decade-old review of Journey to the Center of the Earth. Ouch, this was harsh! I have no memory of watching this film, so no idea if it merited a response this scathing. Sentiments could probably be applicable to some other stuff out there now.

    Suddenly, that game becomes a licensed video game based on that weird adaptation of Journey to the Center of the Earth that's actually a sequel to MST3K classic Alien from LA.

    WURM: Journey to the Center of the Earth is a refreshingly entertaining #NES game that has several gameplay modes and a detailed storyline with cut scenes as you adventure along. The graphics are top notch for this console and the controls are great as well. Go play this game now if you can! 9/10

    Little Orpheus Dec. 18th Kind of a stretch calling this a platformer. This is more of a walking sim but you move right. The DLC had more involved platforming and puzzles, even a proper boss fight! But otherwise it was a cute USSR-retelling of Journey to the Center of the Earth. Decent enough.

    Just watched a neat video on "A Journey to the Center of the Earth" for Commodore 64 and routing it for a speedrun. Never heard of the game but it seems pretty neat, and a bit ahead of it's time in some ways, metroidvania-ish enough for me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0T8h...

    Yes! If you're going to make a retro-style game, why not make a spiritual successor to Wurm: Journey to the Center of the Earth, The Magic of Scheherazade, or Fire Hawk: Thexder the Second Contact. Live a little!

  • Matt's Old Gaming MAgazine Reviews @mogmar.bsky.socialBluesky · Mar 17, 2025

    This Journey To The Center Of The Earth game (1989 Rainbow Arts) is a strange one. A basic strategy game overlaid on a literary narrative and very unlike the arcade and movie conversions topping the charts at the time. weirdly reminds me of a BBC educational game or something.
