While some of SNK games on PC are straight ROM dumps (some on Humble Bundle or GOG) or poorly emulated (anything handled by DotEmu) there are 4 ports worth people's time: The King of Fighters '97 Global Match, Samurai Shodown V Special, Garou: Mark of the Wolves, and The Last Blade 2. These games were ported or recently patched by Code Mystics (a Vancouver dev 
) and they feature rollback netcode. This technology allows players at longer distance to have playable multiplayer matches. While on games like Tekken 7 or DBFZ an out-of-provice match is unplayable, on games like Samurai Shodown 5sp I've played people from continent to continent without a hitch. It's magical.
Anyhow, these are the first games being given away, I'll update the OP as more are added:
