Atari Anniversary Edition features twelve Atari arcade games from over the years within an arcade-based setting. Alongside the games are other features, including interviews with Atari founder Nolan Bushnell, box artworks and manuals, among other special features.
The Microsoft Windows version is a single disc repackage of two previous Atari compilations released by Hasbro Interactive:[2] Atari Arcade Hits, released on 5 July 1999,[3] and Atari Arcade Hits 2, released in 2000. A similar compilation, Atari Greatest Hits, was also released in 2000, and was simply both volumes packaged together as a 2-CD set.[4]
The Dreamcast version of the game is its own title, and features the same games as the Windows version. It was only released in North America.
The PlayStation version was released as Atari Anniversary Edition Redux, and is similar to the Dreamcast version but has a slightly altered game list, with Millipede and Crystal Castles replaced with Black Widow and Space Duel.
The Game Boy Advance version was the first arcade compilation title released for the system, and was released under the title of Atari Anniversary Advance.
This version contains the same games as Volume 1 of Atari Arcade Hits, but Pong is replaced with Battlezone. It also includes an after-market level replacement hack of Tempest titled "Tempest Tubes", as well as a "Trivia Challenge", which consists of questions about Atari and its 1980s video games.
