Classic games hold a special place in gaming history and continue to be enjoyed by players even after many years since their release. They may have set new standards or introduced groundbreaking features that have shaped the industry as we know it today.

While the specific criteria for what qualifies as a "classic" game can vary from person to person, some common characteristics include:
