some people might want to burn me at a stake for that, to actually show what often is meant by the term "classic" I'd like to reach out into computer gaming, plainly because the genere and life cycles are shorter and faster and as such easier to observe (petri dish?)
Baldur's Gate RPG
Command & Conquer RTS
Wolfenstein3D FPS
Classic is either 1st or fundamental in building a genre. A new not reinvented "wheel"
many works thereafter are best case expanding the invention and worst case just regurgitating it.
