A lot of good games here; it's hard to make a choice...

1. Sin City. ;) I never really played this version much but It should be a classic.
2. Hostages. I think it looks great but I never really liked this genre of games (but I did played it a bit). Hijack is another one of those but at least you don't really get to see the hijackers there.
3. North & South. I played this a lot but I didn't like the multiload.

Funnily if I reverse the list order it would still be fine for me. They are all fine games.

And I could also have added the other games in the list like the Inheritance, the Sydney affair, Mandragore, Bobo, Tintin...
Those were also good too.

It's a bit sad that nowadays Atari is just the better company, maybe.

Oh the joys of having a disciple disc interface and the woes of having to crack all those multiloads yourself. 😄

It's complicated to only choose three from that list. Considering the amount of hours of fun they gave me ...

1- North & South
2- The Light Corridor
3- Renaud /Sidewalk

Only ever played The Light Corridor so can't really give an opinion on the others.

Did you know (adopts nerdy Colin Robinson voice) The Light Corridor contains a tiny sample of Alphabet Street by Prince?

Sim City is a fine port, but that’s what it is—a port. North & South is an original game developed and distributed by Infogrames, and it’s a brilliant idea brilliantly executed. My vote goes to it.

Hostages was an ambitious undertaking, but I think it is was too much for the Speccy to handle smoothly. (Haven’t played it in decades, so just commenting from memory.)
Every man should plant a tree, build a house, and write a ZX Spectrum game.

Sim City has swept the board here, getting 15 votes.

In joint second place, we have Hostages and Vera Cruz, with six votes each.

The Light Corridor and North & South have three votes each to be in joint third place.

Mandragore and Sidewalk are joint fourth, with two votes each.

Finally, someone out there likes Tintin On The Moon enough to give it a vote, that places it into fifth place.

And here are the proportional results:

Sim City 24
North & South 13
Hostages 10
Light Corridor, The 6
Vera Cruz 6
The Inheritance: Panic In Las Vegas 2
Welltris 2
Sidewalk 1
