Don't forget the multi-mode gameplay of Jason's Gem (even if the platform bits are a tad crap).

Yeah, it’s kind of death-spirally, though.
Every man should plant a tree, build a house, and write a ZX Spectrum game.

But I think this time, as someone said above, it'll be a mortal combat between Jet Set Willy and Jet Pac.
One of my favourites although i can't count it as a classic. My vote is always on a game i feel is great, but also one of the earlier greats. Jack the Nipper came much later, so it has to be JSW, Jetpac or Jumping Jack.
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...

Jahangir Khan's World Championship Squash is quite good. I remember when I played it for the Speccy Tour.
