Anthology on Jeff's Video and Computer Game Page
Most of the arcade "challenge modes" in Atari Anthology unlock a set of challenge modes for a unqiue Atari 2600 game within the package. For example, if you score 10,000 points in arcade Asteroids' Time Warp Challenge, you will unlock the challenge modes of Sprintmaster.

In Hot Seat mode, two or more games will play in rotation, switching every ten seconds. Hot Seat mode is over when you've lost at all but one of the games in the rotation. You are scored on your combined total. Hot Seat mode is not offered by all games. (e.g. Mind Games, Sports and Adventure categories do not offer Hot Seat.)
