so this has been bothering me for quite some time now. from around 2005-2011(?) coke had 2 flash "games" on their website. i put games in quotes because they really weren't games with any real goal or anything, they were literally just glorified advertisements.
the games in question were "coca cola virtual vender" and "coca cola world music mixer". virtual vender was a game where you could dispense various coke products from around the world via a big red vending machine. the machine would spit out the bottle and give you a ✨ fun fact ✨ about it. there really wasn't much to it. world music mixer was a very basic music maker game, with a little keyboard you could play around with, with various music styles from around the world. there are no images, videos, etc. of these games anywhere online. i've done quite a bit of digging and found literally nothing. i do have, however, these screenshots from archive.org web.archive.org/web/20071015144354/http://musicmixer.coca-cola.com/mm/noFlash.jsp web.archive.org/web/20070419143752/http://www.virtualvender.coca-cola.com/vm/noFlash.jsp
these links are all i have left of these games.
i know in the grand scheme of things these games are like, SUPER lame, but i had so much fun with them as a kid. i was like 5, can you blame me? a big colorful vending machine spewing out even more colorful bottles with fun sound effects was perfect for a toddler. i'd really love for these games to somehow be accessed again, and put onto flashpoint. it bothers me that the games are right under my nose, i just cant access them because flash is dead. i really hope there's a way to get to these games, and i hope somebody can help me.
EDIT: here's the only image online of virtual vender. snagged this from the wayback machine
EDIT #2: my boyfriend did some digging and was able to fish out the .swf files for both games. i was able to run them in ruffle but both games have files that are seemingly permanently lost, rendering the games able to run but unplayable. if anybody has any knowledge w/ this stuff and knows how to retrieve these missing files that would be a lot of help!
