Poll: your first M game

[Dragon Zero]

My first played was I believe Perfect Dark b/c the version of Mortal Kombat I played was the infamous SNES port, so I don't feel that counts.

EDIT: Actually I believe that my first game that could qualify as an M was Eternal Champions on the Genesis, a fighting game known for its background fatalities. This was before I was even in Kindergarten I believe. Though I don't know if it was rated as such, or if ratings existed but I think for the time it would qualify as such.

 

[Shock and Awe]

Duke Nukem Zero Hour, I was in pre school.

No I am not kidding.

If mortal kombat even had a rating ( i dont remember if it did ) then that was it and i was like 13.

otherwise Loaded for PS.

My family and I have always believed that it's mental maturity that counts, not numeric.

i was 5 when i played mortal kombat from there ive played nothing but m rated games.i grew up perfectly well.i think.....

N64 Perfect dark, oh how i loved that game

 

[mattttherman3]

I believe my first was Turok for the N64, fun for a while anyway, I liked the big red gun. Maybe I played mortal kombat earlier, not sure. Well since I have not shot up a place, guess video games didn't affect me that much.

MGS3 i was 10

If Abe's Odyssey is rated M than pretty much that.

I tiptoed downstairs one night to play it when I was about 5 or 6. I had watched my dad play it before.

Whenever a drill cut up Abe or a Slig shot him I would jump out of my seat.

 

[PyroTiger]

Parasite Eve, not sure why it was rated M, also I didn't finish it.

 

[paragon1]

Halo, I think.

 

[Low Key]

Mortal Kombat for the Genesis. I was 8 years old. The gore was absurdly comical compared to todays standards, even in the intentionally comical M games.

 

[The Hairminator]

GTA 2. When I was like <12. I was mature enough, I think.

 

[Cowabungaa]

I think that'd be...Mortal Kombat 2 (not UT99 or Soldier of Fortune like I previously thought) when I was 9 or something. Yes I remember the finishing moves well.

 

[Tears of Blood]

Yer kiddin', rite?

 

[Eatbrainz]

Just last year i finally got my hands on a 360 and a copy of GoW2 (i was a big nintendo fan till then, mind)

 

[Starke]

If we're counting the original Doom, then, no I wasn't, thing is, the ESRB rating system didn't really exist back then. So, the first game I played that actually had an M on the box was Unreal.

 

[lolcatize]

it was gears of war and i was 12 and it was my first game on xbox360 and now im 14 XD

 

[Otterpoet]

LOL. I was playing video games before there WAS an Entertainment Software Rating Board or M-rating. And boy was there some vile $hit back then My cousin had some game (can't remember the name) that required you to fly a penis (no, I'm not kidding) and shoot sperm at... well... you, can guess... and avoid incoming contraceptives.

Let Jack Thompson suck on that one! ;-)
