Atari Arcade Hits is a compilation of six classic arcade games from the golden ages of Atari, reprogrammed to play in Windows computers. The package not only includes the games with changeable operator options in their original style and enhanced style, but also the Atari Archives, with media content that goes from flyer scans to advert videos, desktop themes based on the games offered in each package and online high score charts. Volume 1 includes Asteroids, Super Breakout, Centipede, Pong, Tempest and Missile Command. All games can be accessed from a taskbar button, and game progress is saved as soon as window is closed.

This collection honors the 30th anniversary of Atari, one of the first great companies in the videogame industry by reissuing versions of 12 arcade classics for play on PlayStation systems. Included are Asteroids and Asteroids Deluxe, Battlezone, Black Widow, Centipede, Gravitar, Missile Command, Pong, Space Duel, Super Breakout, Tempest and Warlords. The bundle also includes a souvenir sticker, a video interview with Atari founder Nolan Bushnell, press releases from the original games and images of game memorabilia. Atari Anniversary Edition Redux is mouse and analog control compatible and is multi-tap adaptable for up to four players. In addition to the pure emulation modes, there is an option to display the cabinet art surrounding the display of each game, intended to give the player a sense of actually playing a stand-up machine. Each game also has a toggle for an "enhanced" graphical mode, which varies from game to game. For instance, "enhanced" asteroids merely has a static backdrop, whereas "enhanced" warlords is a complete graphical overhaul with new colors. It should be noted that the "enhanced" version of Tempest is none other than Tempest Tubes, a modification for Tempest made in 1982 by Duncan Brown.

The game follows the titular character, the demigod Asura as he seeks revenge on the other pantheon of demigods who betrayed him. The story is presented in the style and format of an episodic series of cinematic shorts, including opening and closing credits, with the gameplay being integrated into the cinematic where players switch between third-person combat and interactive sequences with player input in the form of quick-time even button prompts. Because of its unique style, the game has been decribed in the media as an "interactive anime". According to the game's producer Kazuhiro Tsuchiya, "Asura's Wrath takes elements from Hinduism and Buddhism and blends them with science fiction, with the main and supporting characters based on the ever combative and superiority-seeking beings of the same name that are part of the Hindu and Buddhist cosmology.
