Bleu Ninja: Clarified "tapes" being a Master System thing. Some googling does not show notable non-H*R use of the term.

While none of the [[characters]] have been seen playing any of these games, [[Homestar Runner]] once successfully used a Sega tape and controller to operate a waffle iron.

The ~~cartridges for the Sega Genesis used semiconductor-based [[wikipedia:Read-only memory~~\|ROM~~]] chips for data storage, not spools of [[wikipedia:Magnetic tape~~\|magnetic tape~~]], so they are not actually~~ tapes.	+	"Tape" is a misnomer derived from the game cartridges from Sega's previous console, the {{w\|Master System}}. The Master System's {{w\|ROM cartridge}}s superficially resembled {{w\|cassette tapes}}, despite using chips rather than magnetic tape to store data. The Genesis game cartridges were redesigned and no longer resembled cassette tapes, but the name apparently stuck.
