Sega Tapes

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Sega Tapes, the cartridges used by the Sega Genesis game system, have appeared in the Homestar Runner universe.

"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
