Early home console players in my country (USA) sometimes referred to game cartridges as "tapes" because of their resemblance to audiocassettes or 8-track cassettes (e.g., "Atari tapes"). In the Homestar Runner canon, Strong Bad has been known to make reference to "Sega tapes". And then there's the generation of UK gamers who got their games for Commodore or the Speccy, on actual audiocassette for 10 quid apiece at the chemist's. Games on cassette were available on American micros as well, but didn't attract nearly as much interest.
