"Tape" is a somewhat common misnomer for cartridge, referring to the Sega Genesis cartridges' 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.
