About
Pepsiman is an action video game developed and published by KID for the PlayStation. It was released in Japan in March 1999, and is based on American carbonated soft drink Pepsi's superhero mascot with the same name, and focuses the player on avoiding obstacles by running, dashing, and jumping, while Pepsiman automatically runs forward through each of the game's stages.
What is happening now
Pepsiman is a PlayStation platformer from 1999 that tasks players with guiding the titular cola mascot through obstacle-filled levels. The game blends traditional side-scrolling action with the absurdist premise of a beverage brand's branded adventure. Recently, the game has resurfaced through an emulation project that allows it to run directly in web browsers, making this oddity more accessible to curious players than it has been in years. The recompilation represents the kind of preservation effort that keeps quirky, console-era curiosities playable for new audiences unfamiliar with the original PlayStation's extensive library of licensed oddities.
