Nowadays, it seems that retro gaming is getting bigger and bigger! For those of you that like to take a small cigarette break during the work day (like me) and love retro video game consoles, these lighters are just for you! Zippo and SEGA will be releasing two lighters in the shape of the 16bit SEGA Genesis (AKA Mega Drive) and the 32bit SEGA Saturn video game console. Impress the ladies at the nightclub by assisting them with a light for their cigarette. They will be impressed! (That’s a lie. They probably won’t be.) At this point, it looks like these SEGA Zippo lighters will be available only in Japan and they go for a cool ¥10,500 (approximately $113.96). The only thing I have problem is Zippo didn’t show SEGA Dreamcast any love. LAME…

10 years ago today on 9/9/99, Sega released (in North America) their newest console gaming system called the Sega Dreamcast. Considered by many seasoned gamers as one of the greatest gaming systems ever, the Dreamcast is celebrating its 10th anniversary today (9/9/09). The Dreamcast was the pioneer in online gaming as being the first system to feature a built-in modem and internet support. Unfortunately, even with the huge amount of support for the gaming population, Sega pulled the plug on the Dreamcast in March of 2001 when Sega faced stiff competition from a little system called Playstation.
Even though the Dreamcast was only with us for less than 2 years, it will be forever remembered. Sega Saturn unfortunately, won’t be.
I sure miss Power Stone and Jet Grind Radio…
