you will see that they take Atari 2600 games ($0.50 per generic game). Admittedly, all other games are for Sega, Nintendo, Microsoft or Sony consoles.

I see nothing so far though that states they're taking anything as far back
as the Intellivision, other than surmising by Joystiq.  Even the poster that
was included in an earlier article mentions about ESRB ratings and disc
quality leads one to believe it's talking about PS1 era on up:
