classic game
Chess or checkers
A classic game is one that has endured across generations and remains widely played or referenced despite its age.
The term applies to board games like chess or Monopoly, video games like Pac-Man or Tetris, and playground games like tag or hide-and-seek.
What qualifies as classic depends on context—for video games, anything from the 1980s or 1990s often counts: Let's fire up some classic games on the old Nintendo.
