Sega Tapes are the cartridges used by the Sega Genesis game system, launched in 1989 by Sega during the 16-bit video game era. They have also made appearances in the Homestar Runner universe.

"Tape" is a somewhat common misnomer for cartridge, referring to the Sega Genesis' cartridge's resemblance to cassette tapes. But, the cartridges for the Sega Genesis used semiconductor-based ROM chips for data storage, not spools of magnetic tape, so they are not actually tapes.

Appearances

• Debut: Email anything - Sega tapes with Videlectrix game names on them are used as coasters for glasses of Melonade.
• On the game catalog in the Videlectrix website, the games are presented as stacks of Sega tapes.
• Teen Girl Squad Issue 8 (Easter egg) - Tompkins steals a Sega tape with the game Road Rash on it.

Miscelaneous

• Email: alternate universe - The Strong Badman comic book alternate universe resembles Comix Zone, which was released for the Genesis.
