anyone here got a game or program on paper tape?

Those old paper tapes Bill Gates used in the 70s to program/save his Basic language to, or even magnetic tape like DECtape.
On Wiki I've seen a paper tape with the game Hangman:

No, but I wish I did. That would make an interesting addition to the collection. Getting a device that could utilize it would really be a blast. Of coarse those things take up a lot of room which is something I am pretty much running out of.
When I was in high school this one particular computer course still used these rather large card reading machines. I remember being quite disappointed in having to bother with something that was already very obsolete. Now I think it would be fun to have one of those old behemoths. I'm not sure what I'd ever be able to do with it though.

I have half life 2 on punch cards.

I have the whole MAME collection with all the associated screenshots, chd files, samples, cabinets, roms etc... on punch cards. I bought a 2 story house and a 10 acre shed specially to hold them all.

Just played Street Fighter Alpha 2, its a real pain to be trying fireballs and dragon punches while furiously feeding the machine punch cards.

My brother dropped the pile of cards holding the game Street Fighter 3. All the rom cards and chd cards are all mixed up in a huge pile. Long story short, he now hangs from a hook on the roof of the house.

Being an ex-punch card operator I played many games on punch cards in the late 70s (and that's no joke when compared to those two funny guys above. One game I clearly remember was a sort-of Colossal Adventure).

I would not say it's that obsolete. For gaming it is, but look at Barcodes for examples. This is also Data, just not a game.
With those QR Codes that start to pop up more and more it's also getting popular again :P
QR Codes can hold up to 7,089 characters, I guess that's more then most of the programms Mr.Gates has ever written in basic.

I've got some old DECUS TK-50 tapes for the PDP-11 and VAX that have a few games on them, among other things. I do have a paper tape reader/puncher for my PDP-11, but no programs for it.
