Emergent Gameplay was created by Michael Barnes

Emergent gameplay means that the game lets you actually play...

What is the difference between a good game and a great game?

I think the answer, after years of sort of feeling around it, is emergent gameplay. It is the one characteristic that every great game that I can think of really shares on an innate, design-level basis.
