How about Atic Atac? Knight Lore? Head over Heels? The Dizzy series? Jet Set Willy? Chuckie Egg? Those are all AAA+ titles, not to mention Speccy had even more accurate arcade ports than the NES or other home platforms at the time.

They were true to the arcade version as opposed to butchered NES ports like Bionic Commando.

Outstanding Speccy ports would be
Rainbow Islands
R-Type
Double Dragon
Bionic Commando
Chase HQ
Space Harrier
Arkanoid
Star Wars Arcade
Commando

NES "port" was explicitly meant to be a different game.

Rainbow Islands was best on the C64, or perhaps the Amiga.
Double Dragon was an awful conversion, almost as bad as the 7800 version.
Chase HQ and Arkanoid were enhanced and released with special controllers for the Famicom by Taito.
Space Harrier on Spectrum is a horrifying abortion and the NES port was by Taito. Best version of Space Harrier is on the 32x; best 80s version was on the Master System.
Star Wars Arcade had its best port on the 32x. Coleco would have been THE version to play in the 80s.
Capcom developed Commando for the NES; it wasn't a middleman thing like Elite on the Speccy.

Bionic Commando is an abysmal port of a mediocre arcade game on the ZX Spectrum. On NES it's an entirely new and much better game.

Yeah but its not an arcade port anymore is it? Thats why Speccy has the better ARCADE PORTS

>Double Dragon was an awful conversion, almost as bad as the 7800 version.
The C64 DD was much much worse, it's literally up there with the Atari 2600 Pac-Man for being the worst arcade port of all time.
>Chase HQ and Arkanoid were enhanced and released with special controllers for the Famicom by Taito.
Not impressed with the NES Arkanoid. The controller was cheap and broke easily and the game didn't even have the intro sequence.
>Capcom developed Commando for the NES; it wasn't a middleman thing like Elite on the Speccy.
The C64 and Amiga had great port of Commando. The NES one was a bug-filled bleepy mess because it was the first game Capcom developed for the system and they didn't really know what they were doing.
