The Top 5 Machines You'll Encounter On The Daily

Alien Aisha Vending Machine It is said that out in the great expanse of space that Alien Aisha are out to explore multiple worlds in search of adventure and knowledge. But what happens when these curious explorers decide to reach Neopia? The most logical thing possible: they bring a mysterious machine to do business with the locals! This machine can be found within Neopia Central in the Neopian Plaza, and Neopians can play with this alien machine using a currency of these space friends called Nerkmids (there are different types, colours, and prices!). The prizes that could be obtained from this machine vary depending on the Nerkmid type, as well as the combination of buttons and levers you can press. What possible prizes, you ask? You can get a wide variety of prizes that range from somewhat disturbing food prizes (spooky or simply disgusting) to incredibly colourful Paint Brushes. Remember, it is a matter of luck! Still, this machine is a Neopian Classic that everyone should try, at least once, whether it's because you feel lucky enough, you have an appetite for a rare prize like a Chocolate Fish Pop Milkshake, or just because you are aiming for Aisha Alien's cherished Avatar or Trophy Neocola Machine Everyone in Neopia knows of or has heard from the legendary Dr. Sloth. Even though he is one of the biggest villains in Neopia, we can’t deny his intelligence in creating one of the most famous entrepreneurships. It is said that he created the Neocola Machine to fund his evil plans.. But nevermind that, just what is the Neocola Machine? It is a vending machine that, using Tokens that feature the evil Doctor’s face on them, people have access to roll for different prizes including transmogrification potions that can infamously turn your pet into a twisted, Mutant variant.
