Being a PC only gamer, I don't have many great console memories of old games like these; but I do remember playing some games like Star Fox, Mario Kart, Crash Bandicoot, and Mario 64 at friends' houses or at the dentist's waiting area.
However, I am lucky that I can play my personal 20-year old classics, as well as modern games, on the same hardware.
@MooncalfReviews @jamesosgd 10 originally meant "Perfect", but in mid 2007 they changed it to mean "Prime", which also doesn't make much sense; "Masterpiece" seems like a much better term.

@Qixote 10 used to be "perfect". Now it is "masterpiece", most likely to encourage reviewers to give 10s slightly more often, since no game can really be absolutely perfect. What does perfect even mean in the context of a videogame?

@angelini Because they were basically "The Good" and "The Bad" but in picture form. So they were redundant and could not be as specific as the good and bad text points.
Also, I remember another reason being that even reviewers couldn't tell what they all represented at a glance.
