Mugsy (yay) The Biz (I find it fiendishly addictive) Manic Miner (for the old "just one more go" factor) Turbo Esprit (I can play it for hours on end and not get bored) Football Manager (used to play it loads back in the day) Sim City (again, spent loads of time on it way back when...)

I played the biz on emulator a couple of years ago and found it very addictive. The only annoying thing was the random events like 'the taxman takes ?20000' and that would be your whole budget. That was really annoying. I broke into the game to try and remove this but couldn't find it.
I liked Sim City but prefered the Amiga version. The spectrum version tended to slow down once the city got bigger. It was still good though.
Who dares wins 2, I think me and PJ are the only ones who really like this game everyone else seems to think it's a naff commando clone. Personally I don't think it really plays like commando. It's obviously where the influence came from, but due to the flick screen nature of the game and the way the enemies and environmental hazards are positioned I actually like it better than Commando.
Sincerely I also to prefer WDW2 than Command, I have more fun playing it. My most addictive games are my top 3....bottom.

Great shout ! Halls of the things was one of the first games i got with my Speccy, difficult as you need to be an octopus with all those keys but was superb back then.
Commando is one of my all time faves, Rebelstar i love, trying different strategies etc, brilliant game
with all those weird keys, I'll never forget the panic that ensued when a super fast thing jumped out from under a pile of loot, spewing fireballs... argh.. which key to fire arrows up..no - down!.. lef.. arse.

Funny looking back but back then i was bricking it entering a new room with the 'baddies' running about at a super fast speed ! Was excited when i saw the advert for return of the things, funny how back then the drawing for the front cover looked amazing, you buy the game and get it home and 'oh' its quite different ! But as a kid you have a great imagination.
If Halls of the things had some decent keys it would have been a great 'raw' Gauntlet
Now I'm using ZXDS on the DS, I can play Ant Attack with the mad key layout mapped sensibly to the D-Pad and buttons. Finally it's perfect and I'm getting totally addicted to that.

surely "QUADRAX" was highly addictive (also really fine game, technically).
And at the moment it seems like the most addictive game for me is
"Mushroom Man" - I play the game for days and don't have enough. :)
Rest of such games I encountered on ZX81 so I skip them now.
