I'll have to finally play a Neo Geo game one of these days so I can contribute to this thread.

THE LIST in order:

Fatal Fury Special
Samuari Shodown 2
The King of Fighters '95
Real Bout Fatal Fury
Real Bout Fatal Fury 2
Samuari Shodown 5 Special
The King of Fighters '98
Smuari Shodown 4
Real Bout Fatal Fury Special
Garou: Mark of the Wolves

Recently I find when I play Capcom CPS2 games like Street Fighter Alpha 2 they just seem superior in every way to the Neo Geo stuff... The only game I've been able to come back to recently and enjoy is Fatal Fury Special.

Special mention for KoF 2002. ;^)

Shout out to the Chiba Metro Police!

SFA2? Good, but so boring compared to what SNK was doing.
I prefer the SFA and SFIII series, to the SNK fighting games. But MOTW is good, maybe because it's more like the Street Fighter games, than the rest of the Fatal Fury series. And Last Blade 1 & 2 are good, but they're totally different to Street Fighter, and the other SNK fighters.

The rest of the Fatal Fury series is amazing. Much more original than generic plain old Street Fighter with new moves and animation.

Not a single fighting game on a neo top list? You should be banned.
lol. About 1/3 of the Neo Geo's library is fighting games. So I've been emphasizing that the other 2/3 exist for all the naysayer's who dismiss the console because they don't like fighters.
