Sega Zippo lighters spark nostalgia

Looking at the Sega Mega Drive-modeled Zippo lighter reminds me of the actual console that I still have on top of my wardrobe. I remember spending a good deal of time on it playing Mortal Kombat and Sunset Riders with my friends. Those were the days when 16-bit graphics were more than enough, and 3D games were almost unheard of.

There's also a Sega Saturn version available, and both lighters retail for $114 each. Give the PlayStation 3 10 years, and I'm sure it'll be inducted into the Zippo game console hall of fame.

Why even post this dumb article on Crave....$114 for a lighter? This is a joke, right?

WIN!
I grew up with this kinda stuff.

As a youngster, I had a 16 bit Sega. As an adult, I am an avid Zippo collector. $114 is WAY out of reason for a new Zippo (unless they are limited to 20 or 30, and I'm guaranteed 1 or 2 of each).

Wait until they start showing up on e-bay for $30.

You gotta find some way to push those lighters, now that cigarettes are illegal in the U.S. They'll be valuable antiques from a bygone era...
