Why is BryneByrne vs. Fischer (1956) regarded as the "Game of the Century"?

(This is the game in question.) Is it because it was played by a 13-year old-old Bobby Fischer? Would it have been different if it were played by a much older player? Who labeled it the "game of the century" and did this game between Tal and Smyslov (1959) miss being the "game of the century" by 3 years?
