Pre-orders for a new Atari game console eclipsed $2 million in the first day they were offered through Indiegogo. The campaign proved so popular that it crashed the crowdfunding website for a portion of the day.

Called the Atari VCS, the new console is available in three bundles. The $299 package features a real wood veneer on the front of the console and includes a Bluetooth-enabled, retro-styled Atari joystick controller. The $199 package includes an all-black version of the console, while a $229 package includes the black version with a joystick.
