    Smoke Retro With Namco's Game Zippo Lighters

    Namco Bandai's Zippo lighters may not hold a candle to similar—okay, far superior—recent combustible offerings from Sega, but if you're a huge Xevious fan, Banpresto has a lighter for you, buddy.

    Four Zippos themed on classic Namco properties Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Xevious and Galaxian are yours for the pre-ordering and importing, should you have the desire and funds to complete the transaction. I say that because, like the Sega Saturn and Mega Drive Zippos, these aren't cheap. Each is 10,000 yen, equating to a $108.90 USD price at importer National Console Support.

    But if you're expecting to need a Zippo in January, these might be exactly what you're looking for.
