As are the classics.

For what it's worth, I try to constantly and consistently
reference other works in my reviews.  I have not, I admit,
played a lot of the potential classics, so I'm just referencing
ones that I remember from the set that I have played.

Some other people do this as well, and one can imagine that the
classics will emerge as the ones that keep getting referenced
"beyond their time".
