I'd just mention Zarjaz for the list.
Now for me theres 3 runners. Zub, Zzoom and Zynaps.
I'd have to go with Zzoom as the truest "classic" being the oldest of the 3, these 3 games got plenty of equal playtime from me, will be a close run race i think.
Never got much out of Zombie Zombie, and i don't think i've ever played any other Z game. Whats a Zythum ?
Apart from Z on PC.

I don't have anything cool to put here, so i'll just be off now to see a priest with yeast stuck between his teeth and his friend called Keith who's a hairpiece thief...

Every man should plant a tree, build a house, and write a ZX Spectrum game.

Crikey! I forgot all about Zub too. Loved the 128K version of that game (bonus with the hidden Lightfarce too) as the great music added so much to the frantic action. So now I've got to decide between Zzoom, Zub and Zynaps...

Any ideas as to what we’re going to do once this poll is completed? Best Genre poll ie Commando vs Ikari Warriors vs Rambo etc?

After the Z thread we'll still have the # thread (numbers).
After it, we might propose ideas like you said: Best sports game, text adventure, or by companies: best Ocean or Ultimate game, etc

It’s simple, really. Take the winners of all the letter polls and throw them into a new one so that Zythum (by Mirrorsoft) can finally go down in history as the best ZX Specturm game.

A sort of 'The mother of all A-Z polls' sounds cool!
Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with Z: discussion
From top of my head it would be a battle between frustrating Zub or relaxing Zythum, and I know the last one isn't wildly popular
