I've had several Zippos over the years, but recently my preferred shelled one has been giving me issues I cannot figure out how to fix.

It doesn't want to light.

Allow me to explain what I've done so far.

I've replaced the flint, but it still sparks.

I've added lighter fluid, still won't light.

I've used another lighter to light it, it burns strong.

I've kept it burning for a few minutes, attempting to burn off excess fuel in case it was flooded until it wouldn't stay lit.

I've left it open to allow the fuel to dissipate.

I've replaced the wick.

I've repacked the cotton so as the wick meanders to the bottom across the width of the lighter several times.

What possible solution am I missing?

Side-note: As I've been writing this post, I reached for a smoke and the lighter, and flicked it open and it lit almost instantaneously for the first time in months of "fixing it." So I'm totally at a loss as to whether it's now fixed or not. But I will welcome all suggestions still.

For years back before the internet, games were short and had only 3 lives, but more importantly, they were designed to hook you into just one more quarter, or just one more game during a late night session, such as PacMan, or Asteroids, or Super Mario Brothers.

Do those quick played types of games even exist anymore?

Now, with all the longform games being produced, "Just 1 more" could mean another couple of hours on the couch if it does rely on a limited number of lives.

If those quick play games still exist, what's your recent favorite?
