What makes a 'classic' game?

We're living in a gaming Renaissance.

We all have our favorite games, but what makes those games classic? How do you define that quality in games, past and present?
 
I always find the title screen is a good indication. I suppose that's nostalgia talking though, you immediately remember the greatness of the game upon seeing the title screen.

Chrono Trigger, SMB3, Ocarina of Time, etc.

IAWTP but System Shock 2 has a rather bland title screen.
