The SNK 40th Anniversary Collection is an impressive museum exhibit of forgotten games that don't all hold up today.

What I hoped would be a decent collection of SNK’s early gaming efforts ended up being one of the most impressive retro compilations I’ve encountered in recent memory. While not every game included will excite more casual players, those who do have an appreciation for the library offered here will find them presented with a level of care, concern, and passion that is too rarely seen.

Overall, SNK 40th Anniversary Collection has titles that old school arcade gamers are sure to appreciate and also does an impressive job of diving deep into the company’s four-decade history. However, this may be even more of a niche collection than the Capcom Beat’em Up Bundle, which could work against it in the end..

Buy it for Crystalis

Crystalis is one of the best NES games of all time. Its an action-RPG where you have to save a post-apocalyptic world from an evil empire and a doomsday tower. Along the way you get elemental swords and magical powers. Think Mad Max meets Star Wars meets Nausicaa Valley of the Wind. The gameplay is most similar to Ys Origin and Oath In Felghana. Great music, charming 8-bit graphics, a fun story for an NES game, and a good sense of power progression.

Excellent throwback to SNK's early days.

Before they became the fighting game juggernaut known for Fatal Fury, King of Fighters, Samurai Shodown & many others, SNK was simply just another video game company putting out niche titles in the arcade & on consoles. And this collection contains some of their earliest games including Athena, Psycho Soldier & Crystalis. Highly recommened if you want to see SNK's beginning roots.

Amazing Collection!

As you may know this is not a Neo-Geo collection rather pre Neo Geo. Games plays and looks nice, region options, lots more. It also has a museum were you can watch from obscure games that never saw the light to some of the games present in this collection with text alongside with rich information. Wish i could see more of this kind of Arcade Collections in the future, specially here.

A love letter to electronic games

I want to base my analysis on a simple but relevant point: this collection is a vital part of the history of electronic games! Some of the games have not aged very well, but most have fun like never before, arouse feelings, reproduce good memories and, more than that, show why SNK was so loved during its golden years, which go far beyond "The King of Fighters "and" Metal Slug ". Everything sounds good. The collection is 100% functional. Good menus, good controls and excellent emulation. The mere fact that you play video games should make this collection a must-buy, but the fact that it is 100% DRM-Free leaves what is already good even better. Dear GOG users, no matter what your favorite game genre is, this collection is for you. Collaborate with good products like this around here. Have a good game!

Quality Pack

I was hesitant to buy yet another arcade collection, but this one is a cut above the rest. You can tell that SNK put their heart and soul into this collection. Every image they use is top notch and the selection is excellent. I highly recommend picking this up for anyone who loves the arcade classics.
