Out of the 15 they now have, 7 have "official" Linux support:
- FATAL FURY SPECIAL
- SAMURAI SHODOWN 2
- SAMURAI SHODOWN V
- THE KING OF FIGHTERS 2000
- THE KING OF FIGHTERS 2002 CLASSIC
- BLAZING STAR
- KING OF THE MONSTERS
All the others, like the Metal Slug series weirdly have unsupported Linux versions included as "bonus" content.
See the GOG news about it here.
Worth noting, there was a Humble Bundle that had these and more back in 2015, so it's likely Humble had some sort of exclusive deal on them for a while. Hopefully they will add more in future!
Will hopefully please some of you that missed the previous Humble Bundle with them in. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: Whitewolfe80Quoting: elmapul.Especially because its a dead system that you cannot buy new anymore.
you cant buy the hardware but you can buy the games
yes you can but i can still also download the rom for free and play it on linux today and nobody is going to kick down my door because of it. I get what you are saying support the porting to linux by buying x title etc but on this occasion i fail to see the point. Whoever holds the rights now to snk games is not the original snk as they went out of business in the late 90's.
you're quite outdated.
they were purchased by an company that didnt knew how to manage the ips, then the original ownerd purchase it again.
nowadays they are owned by tencent, the saame company who owns Riot (league of legends creators)
