What makes it a great game?

When discussing great games, what is it that makes the game so great?
Is it the ending? The teams, the matchups? What is your definition of a great game?
Would the GMAC Bowl, where ECU and Marshall set the scoring record, be a great game? Would the 9-6 gam e be great? Is watching a lesser-talented team(s) play perfect great?
What is your opinion?
To me, the 5 best games I have ever watched are (not in order)
Arkansas-Alabama SEC Semifinals at the BJCC in 81/92
Rams Chiefs MNF at the Coliseum
Chiefs Broncos @ Mile High, the Montana comeback
Suns Spurs Game 1 Duncan Barkley game
The Giants Angels game 5, 5-run comeback
Honorable Mention
Chiefs Oilers WC Kerry Cash throws the ball against the Buddy Ryan poster
A's Yankees Zito throws a two-hitter and loses, the Jeter play

atmosphere, energy, stakes, desire of both teams to do all they can to win, tv production

quality of teams, meaningfulness of the game, multiple lead changes, and either team can win at the end
comebacks are fine and all, but a game that is competitive throughout is a much better game, imo.

MOMENTS
Games with moments are the most memorable. When that thing happens and you know as soon as it does that you'll remember it for the rest of your life
Obviously you can have "strong moments" in meaningless games, but they just are way more powerful when they have an impact.
The Kick 6
Minnesota Miracle
Blocked by James
