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.

Each console comes with more than 100 Atari games called the “Atari Vault” and will include titles such titles as Asteroids, Breakout, Centipede, Gravitar, Missile Command and Yars’ Revenge. A similar collection of games sells on Steam for $9.99.

A more modern, Atari-branded dual-stick controller is sold separately for $49.

Now that it’s out in the wild, the pitch on Indiegogo sounds interesting. The VCS touts an open Linux architecture, meaning that you can theoretically load up your own software or even your own operating system and go your own way. Add to that all the trappings of a modern PC — 2.4/5 GHz Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, an Ethernet jack and plenty of USB 3.0 ports that accept modern peripherals like headphones, keyboards and mice — and the VCS sounds like a tinker’s delight.

But Atari’s goal here isn’t to make a bigger, more expensive Rasberry Pi. It’s to earn its place on the shelf below television sets around the world as the centerpiece of your home media system. The device is billed as a “retro-inspired, completely modern video computer system,” which puts it up against the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and, to some extent, the Apple TV. However, the VCS’ final design specifications have yet to be locked in. Even the user interface is only a mock-up and subject to change. Whether or not it will live up to the hype is anyone’s guess.

The bottom line is that this console is still in the developmental stage. They have yet to be manufactured, so there’s nothing to test. There’s also no inventory, but that hasn’t stopped the French-owned media company from enticing potential customers with lines such as “Hurry, while supplies last!” on its pre-order page. There’s also no mention of these being sold in limited quantities, only that pre-orders are available for a limited time.

There’s also a conspicuous asterisk, one that has yet to be questioned by backers on the Indiegogo page. It calls out an Atari subscription service that will be “required for advanced services and cloud storage.” We’ve reached out to Atari for more information on what that means.

The campaign for the Atari VCS runs through June. Delivery for all products is estimated for July 2019.
