The original compilation was later re-released as Midway Arcade Treasures 1, with the title and packaging updated to match the succeeding volumes, but the lineup of games remained the same.

The compilation plays similarly on all three consoles, but the Xbox version has the extra ability to upload scores to an online scoreboard.

Many of the complaints were based on the DVD content having poor, and stuttering quality, the menu being not pleasant to look at, and some of the games being difficult to control (with Vindicators as the main point of focus).

[10] The included games are 720°, A.P.B., Arch Rivals, Bubbles, Championship Sprint, Cyberball 2072, Gauntlet, Gauntlet II, Hard Drivin', Joust, Joust 2: Survival of the Fittest, Klax, Kozmik Krooz'r, Marble Madness, Paperboy, Pit-Fighter, Rampart, RoadBlasters, Robotron: 2084, Root Beer Tapper, Satan's Hollow, Splat!, Spy Hunter, Spy Hunter II, Super Sprint, Timber, Toobin', Total Carnage, Vindicators, Wacko, Xenophobe, and Xybots.

This compilation also included four non-proprietary arcade games: Air Hockey, Arcade Basketball (themed after Arch Rivals), Pool, and Roll Ball, as well as a redemption center where players would purchase prizes using tickets and a jukebox that allowed players to play music from their iTunes library.
