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:

Hi,
Now I'm not suggesting that anyone here wants to give up their game
collections, but I'm just curious as to what peoples opinions are about Toys
R Us's decision. Are retro games really worth that much, or are they just
after the scrap metal and boards???
"Toys R Us is rolling out its video game trade-in program nationwide today,
allowing customers to sell games from as far back as the (OMG!)
Intellivision.
Those who use the program will receive gift cards for the value of
their trade-in, which can be used for any product at Toys R Us, Babies
R Us or online at Toysrus.com."
