Today is a happy day – for both GOG and SNK! Already packed with an arsenal of SNK titles, such as those from popular series like THE KING OF FIGHTERS and METAL SLUG, we took a step further in our partnership – and brought an additional 24 retro games to our platform. Countless hours spent standing at arcades can now greet you in a comfortable gaming chair, so let’s take a closer look!
SNK games are considered impeccable retro gems, bringing back the era of arcade gaming and sparking the joy of nostalgia far and wide. Their creations often revive the best memories, and diving into the world of pixels for many feels like diving into warm afternoons of childhood and adolescence, just yearning for another round before running out of coins at the arcade. It’s not only for lovers of all things old-school, though – younger generations reach out for such classics with equal eagerness, treating them as a time capsule in an overwhelming trend of returning retro culture.
And that’s exactly what GOG’s mission is about: to touch the hearts and minds of players of all ages, with a common passion for nostalgia, and the excitement of playing these timeless titles on modern machines. As gamers ourselves, we’re extremely happy to bring in yet another instalment of
METAL SLUG to our store, as well as contribute to our series catalogue for
THE KING OF FIGHTERS and
KING OF THE MONSTERS. Such news, though, wouldn’t be the same without an announcement of further representation for the
ART OF FIGHTING series, as well as the inclusion of the first two entries in the
SENGOKU trilogy – a beat-'em-up arcade classic.

With classics so well known and beloved, we're surely kicking off 2024 on a high note – making it undeniably clear that we’re not slowing down on a mission of games preservation. This is not GOG’s final word on the subject, that’s for sure – we have much more up our sleeves, and we’re looking forward to expanding our relationship with SNK, as well as their catalogue of timeless gems on our platform. So, better get ready, because
more is yet to come!
