At the end of each stage Pepsiman delivers a can of Pepsi to a person who is dehydrated, thus saving the day. The game is notorious for its difficulty and is no pushover.
Occasionally he’ll also jump on a skateboard (which speeds things up considerably), or even rides a barrel. Most of the time Pepsiman runs into the screen, but sometimes he runs towards the screen, which is much more difficult. There are four levels in total, each broken up into smaller stages. Pepsiman never stops running… That is: unless he runs out of time, or unless he reaches the Pepsi machine at the end of each course, in which case the level ends and his tally of collected cans is totted-up. He even has to jump and run through various houses to continue on his way. Banana skins will make him slip and fall. Cars will turn out of junctions directly into his path. Large holes in the ground will swallow him if not jumped over. Workmen (and their heavy equipment) will get in the way. As Pepsiman runs through the courses the hazards become more frequent and dangerous. Occasionally Pepsiman will inadvertently get a trash can stuck over his head, which reverses the controls. All the while the ridiculous (but funny) Pepsiman theme plays repeatedly to the action. You can jump over things (like cars or fences, or through windows), and slide under things (often Pepsi trucks that block the road) to avoid crashing. Pepsiman constantly runs forward, unless he crashes into something, or falls down a hole, or comes a cropper some other way.
The basic aim of Pepsiman is to collect as many cans of Pepsi as possible over various urban courses, while at the same time avoiding the many hazards put in front of the silver and blue ‘superhero’ as he runs along. If it was for the Japanese equivalent of less than ten pounds, then it was an okay purchase! Pepsiman (the game) was apparently made on a low budget and sold for a low price when it came out, although I can’t find a reference to how much it sold for. He apparently became quite popular in Japan so naturally someone decided to make a video game based on him, and the resulting game is pretty funny.

It was only ever released in Japan, although the game is entirely in English and features full motion video segments in English too. Games for the PlayStation continued to sell until Sony ceased production of both the PlayStation and PlayStation games on 23 March 2006 – over 11 years after it had been released, and less than a year before the debut of the PlayStation 3.Now here’s a game that’ll make you laugh out loud… Pepsiman by Japanese developer Kindle Imagine Develop (aka KID). The last PS one units were sold in late 2006 to early 2007 shortly after it was officially discontinued, for a total of 102 million units shipped since its launch 11 years earlier. The PlayStation 2, which is backwards compatible with the PlayStation’s DualShock controller and games, was announced in 1999 and launched in 2000. In July 2000, a redesigned, slim version called the PS one was released, replacing the original grey console and named appropriately to avoid confusion with its successor, the PlayStation 2. The PlayStation is the first “computer entertainment platform” to ship 100 million units, which it had reached 9 years and 6 months after its initial launch. It primarily competed with the Nintendo 64 and the Sega Saturn as part of the fifth generation of video game consoles. The console was the first of the PlayStation lineup of home video game consoles. The console was released on 3 December 1994 in Japan, 9 September 1995 in North America, 29 September 1995 in Europe, and 15 November 1995 in Australia. The PlayStation (officially abbreviated to PS, and commonly known as the PS1 or its codename, PSX) is a home video game console developed and marketed by Sony Computer Entertainment.
