I see what your going with there As in no one would consider it classic. It reminds me of how I felt when kids were picking kickball teams, you never want to be the last one picked.

IMO it's anything during and before the 16 bit consoles. Although the N64 is hard to place since it's the last cart based console. Carts could also be used to determine if a console is classic or retro. I guess something could be classic but not retro? Ocarina of Time is a classic IMO but not so much retro. Confused now...

the word Classic tends to have a positive conotation. So the Game.com for instance could be considered Retro, but maybe not everyone would think of it as Classic.

If cartridges make a system retro then GBA is retro. So that definition doesn't work. Plenty of people still play GBA, and you can still go to Walmart and get a system capable of playing GBA games out of the box. And I still see GBA games at the store from time to time.
