My Dad's the type of guy that keeps all the electronics he's ever bought, so the Intellivision with a collection of games is down in the basement in my folk's basement just waiting to be used.

That's exactly how mine survived, and he let me take it with me when I moved to SF.  DC was way too far for him to let the Intellivision go...
 
 You should definitely keep an eye on ebay - I bought a collection of 15 games for $40.

There's an IBM PC Jr. somewhere down in the basement.  I may even still have Lode Runner for it.

Good stuff.  I recently discovered that my dad kept our Orignal 512K Mac and our Apple IIe.  BRUN anybody?

Quite a feat, since the N64 wasn't released until 1996 in Japan and North America.  They must've been light years ahead of their time.   :p  
 
 Are you thinking of the original Legend of Zelda, which was released on the first Nintendo Entertainment System?
