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.

I don't really smoke too often, but these look really cool just to have, too bad they cost $114!? Damn!

But it does give me a chuckle by reminding me of the "lighter side" pun. Tee hee.

They look cool, but no lighter is worth that much to me, maybe if they were 5$ or 10$ I'd buy one.

God damn, I sure wish I smoked. Smoking is pretty cool on its own, but is even cooler with these lighters!

I find the sheer number of threads created for these lighters absolutely thrilling.

Ranks right up there with the "Next Sega Console" and "Why Does Sonic Suck Now?" threads.

my sentiments exactly. They seem like something you would see at a grocery store checkout lane rather than in a super limited special edition run at $100+ a piece. I love how clever the Genesis one is though, the Model 1 really was a perfect shape to be turned into a zippo.

Sorry about that, I just found this on Google news and it was "new news" and never seen it on here.

And I'm on here quite often!

Let's not forget, "How do you play Genesis Roms on Sega CD?" ;)
