The Splatterhouse series has to have been my first taste of unessercary yet entertaining violence (hell, it had a warning about the graphic content before Mortal Kombat made it a legal requirement...now THAT is pretty hardcore).
The original Japanese arcade version was heavily censored in the US (oddly enough the non-grusome and non-violent boss that was simply an inverted golden crucifix was replaced with a grusome floating head in the US version) and was never released in Europe, there was good reason for this too when you look at it, from the word go your hockey mask wearing protaganist strides through a passageway filled with the mutilated bodies of the bad guy's previous victims and the bad guys themselves (many of which exploded or splattered upon death, hence the title I would guess) beating every living thing to a bloody pulp with his bare hands, a 2x4 and a large meat cleaver.
Bosses throughout the series included: giant parasitic worms, monsters that resembled aborted fetuses, a giant face fused into the wall, huge masses of flying flesh, your own mutated girlfriend, a dude with chainsaws for hands and more I can't remember.
That's my answer anyway.

Truly violent? Soldier of Fortune, when I was 15. First time I played a game where the bad guys would hold their guts, after me having shot them out with a shotgun.
Wolfy 3D - I used to love the little graphic with your bloodied face; not to mention the killing etc... (Thanks to my brother for that one)
Phoo~, I think the first one I played where I was actively aware of it was Killer7. But I'd played Mortal Kombat on the Sega Genesis, but it was so over the top it probably didn't register with me. Also (and I think this one didn't register either because what gore there was was played for laughs) there was Haunting Starring Polterguy. The game was split into four houses and your goal was to follow this horrible family around and scare them out of each house. I loved this game cause the scares were so much fun to watch. I could jump into a bed and turn it into a monster, chase one of the kids around with a bloody severed hand and make them piss their pants, put a present in the middle of the room and make it explode, or possess one of the family members and use him/her to terrorize the others. But my favorite trick was in the third house where I could jump into a chair and activate it, and when one of the saps went over to check on it, the father of the family would appear and be sitting in the chair. Then a small guillotine-style blade would appear behind him and chop his head off (this was even more fun when it was the dad I was scaring). ::sigh:: Great game...
The first game I ever played was Tomb Raider 4, although that wasn't overly gory. The first bloodfest I really played was probably GTA: 3, followed by GTA: Vice City, and finally GoW (the king of gore)
So wait, a fat italian man crushing turtles and mushroom men with his only the weight of his body, beating them to death with his tail(?!?), and immolating them can't be considered violent? The graphics weren't on par with anything in later generations, but use your imagination!ExplosionProofTaco said:
I forgot the name of it, a little fighter on the sega where each character had been pulled from a moment before their death for a chance to live again if they won a tournament. If they lost on their home scene you sometimes got a magnificent little anmation for their deat. One guy got torched at Salem, a detective got gunned down in chicago, a bunch of other stuff.
i didnt get a computer till i was 10 or 11, and my first couple of games were carmaggedon 1/2, mortal trilogy and GTA 2 (even though that violence is a little hard to see)
Brothers in Arms for Xbox. The prologue was so bloody and gory plus the curse words every three seconds actually pushed me to try and return the game to Target. This was when I was like 11 or 12 though.
Needless to say, they wouldn't let me return it and I went home and played it. Guess what games I play now?

Final Doom on PS1. The first innocent bystander I killed was in GTAIII, when I was 8 I think. A very long time ago in ages passed anyway. I vaguely remember Altered Beast but Im not sure if I played that before or after Doom.
