by

PC gamers who have a STOVE account can currently get the SNK 40th Anniversary Collection for free, but the offer ends on December 31st. This collection features more than 20 classic arcade games, including Crystalis, a game similar to Zelda. December has been a great month for free games on PC, with Steam and the Epic Games Store both giving away titles. This latest freebie comes from STOVE, a South Korean game store that some PC players might not know, but it’s a fantastic deal for video game fans.

SNK is a long-standing company in the world of arcade games. Originally called Shin Nihon Kikaku, they’re famous for fighting game series like Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting, and The King of Fighters. But SNK has created many more games over the years, as shown in their 40th Anniversary Collection. This compilation, first released in 2018, features dozens of classic games from the developer, and surprisingly, none of them are part of those well-known fighting franchises.
