Namco’s Pac Man was first released in Japan May 22, 1980, which means the 30th anniversary of the cult game is a good year away. But if it’s Pac-Man, you can never celebrate too early: Starting in November, Namco Bandai, as the company is now called, plans to sell Pac-Man branded Zippos on the Japanese market.

Pac-Man or retro game fans can choose between three different lighters: Game (my favorite and pictured above), Dot Ghost and Dot Pac-Man. The MSRP is $110. Ask specialized online shop Rinkya to get one for you if you live outside Japan.
