1118211 2010-07-12 09:47:00 What do you think the criteria is for making a game classic? How old does it have to be, and is it only age that matters? Greven (91)
1118212 2010-07-12 09:54:00 i think it has to do with how many copies of it sell GameJunkie (72)
1118213 2010-07-12 09:58:00 Perhaps how fun and replayable it is, versus how big a graphics card it needs to run...? forrest44 (754)

i think a game being a 'classic' isn't dependent on one platform so your comment is misguided

1118219 2010-07-12 12:30:00 It has to have a name that stars with "Halo" "Pinball" "Quake" "Mario" or "Space invaders" Pacman is not a classic. it IS the classic The Error Guy (14052)
