''"You could have stolen UPWARDS of one Sega tape."''<br />
<br />
'''"[[Sega]] tapes"''' is a term used in the [[Homestar Runner universe]] to describe the cartridges used by the [[Sega Genesis]] (known as the Sega Mega Drive outside North America) game system. Portrayals have included actual Sega games, [[Videlectrix]] titles, and [[Minor Video Games|additional fictional games]]. While none of the [[Characters|characters]] have been seen playing any of these games, [[Homestar Runner]] once successfully used a Sega tape and controller to operate a waffle iron.<br />
<br />
"Tape" is a misnomer derived from the game cartridges from Sega's previous console, the [[Master System]]. The Master System's [[ROM cartridge|ROM cartridges]] superficially resembled [[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.<br />

== Appearances ==<br />
<br />
* '''Debut:''' Email [[anything]] — Sega tapes with [[Videlectrix]] game names on them are used as coasters for glasses of [[Melonade]].<br />
* [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]] (Easter egg) — [[Tompkins]] steals a Sega tape with the game ''[[Road Rash (1991 video game)|Road Rash]]'' on it.<br />
* Email [[more armies]] — Homestar says that "the last time I fired up one of my old Sega tapes, it made me a waffle." In an Easter egg, a tape can be seen alongside a waffle iron with a Genesis controller connected to it.<br />
* Email [[slumber party]] — [[Strong Bad]] goes over to Homestar's house and hopes to play mature-rated games such as ''[[Minor Video Games|Blood Bleeder]]'', ''[[Minor Video Games|Head Chopper 2]]'', ''[[Minor Video Games|Scab Wars]]'', and ''[[Blistergeist]]''. A few other Sega tapes are lying around, including [[Minor Video Games|''Throat Rip'' and ''Saliva Quest'']]. Homestar informs Strong Bad that those games are "off-limits" and that they're only allowed to play ''[[Clapping Party]]''.<br />
