With that in mind, there are 60 games on this list, out of more than 300 possible, which just goes to show that SNK is one of the most prolific video game publishers in history, despite not having the same brand recognition as, say, Activision, Konami, or Electronic Arts. Many thanks to Andrew Alfonso--Toronto's best Soul Calibur II player--for contributing the majority of this list.
Ozma Wars (1979, Arcade)
Ozma Wars is SNK's first game. It's a black-and-white vertically scrolling shoot-'em-up. Imagine a really basic variation of Galaga. Vanguard (1981, Arcade)
Also appearing on: Atari 2600 (1982), Atari 5200 (1984)
Vanguard is a shoot-'em-up that scrolls both vertically and horizontally. The tunnels you fly through flow
left to right, down to up, up to down, and all manner of angles in between. It was a tough shooter, even by old-school standards, but it was made easier by the fact that bullets could cancel out other bullets. This game put SNK on the map in the US. Athena (1986, Arcade)
Also appearing on: Commodore 64 (1987), Nintendo Entertainment System (1987)
Athena is an adventure game with a little bit of everything: side-scrolling action, platform jumping, and role-playing. You spent much of the time collecting weapons and
items to enhance your character attributes.
Four hours earlier, Yusuke is a delinquent but saves a boy at his school from bullies. However, he is accused of being a bully and leaves school. A sinkhole is shown
with a tiny creature emerging from it, which is from the Demon World. This creature infects the driver of the truck which kills Yusuke. Yusuke is
offered the chance to be resurrected if he agrees to be a Spirit Detective, which he does after learning his best friend, Keiko, has guilt over his death. Yusuke learns that the boy from his school that he saved earlier is now infected by a similar Demon World creature.
