Living in California back in the PS1 days, and many of us might have had our consoles modded. Some people might have procured disc out of certain workmates cars, and often times they were games not available in the US market, or Japonese versions. It is highly possibly that I may have come across Pepsiman in this way. And I may remember it being a superfun game, one of my PS1 favorites actually. I might have played it recently as well, and it was still super fun.
