Yea I double checked and in fact there are no 10/10 games on those systems. San Andreas got a 9.9 and there were plenty of 9.8s and 9.7s but no 10s! TIL

That's why I'm surprised about the Lynx. How could the PS1, PS2, N64, GC, XB and PC combined get less than it?

Surprising yes but it could be because of the fact that IGN reviewers only review games for one system. It could be that the Lynx's reviewer was a lot more forgiving with ratings compared to the other employees. It's hard for some people to objectively give out a 10, because a 10 means that a game should theoretically be perfect. Not everyone has that mentality though.

On a different note it would be interesting to see Gamespot's and Famitsu's perfect scores as well if you ever get a chance to update this thread
