Banpresto Ports Dig Dug, Xevious To Zippos

If lighting your cigarettes/cigars/etc. with a video game-themed device is paramount to your smoking experience, Banpresto has you covered. Along with its Mega Drive, Sega Saturn, and Pac-Man lighters, the company is now producing limited edition Zippos for Namco Bandai arcade classics Xevious, Dig Dug, and Galaxian.

This series, created in honor of Pac-Man's 30th birthday next year, will probably hit import shops like NCSX, as was the case with Banpresto's previous game Zippos. They don't come cheap, though -- each lighter sells for around ¥8,400 ($93) in Japan.
