Mortal fucking Kombat. I was about 8 I think when I first saw it, and I thought Sub-Zero's spine rip fatality was the greatest shit in the world.

Depends on how you define it. The very first one I ever played was the demo of Thief II; I do remember feeling a strange combination of excitement and disgust as I snuck up behind a dude, cracked him on the back of the head with a sap, and threw his unconscious body into a fireplace. It wasn't all that graphic, especially by today's standards; there was little gore or dismemberment (maybe the zombies, though they weren't in the demo that I played) ? just some brutally violent actions that the game let you execute, and splashes of blood whenever someone got hurt.
The first full game I got was American McGee's Alice. This one was genuinely a pretty bloody and gorey game; lots of cutting weapons, blood splatters, gore, and elaborate death animations.

Well if we're counting M games, even though those are 17+, I'd have to say about 4yrs old latest with Duke Nukem, Quake or Doom... its one of those three... XD But if we're counting games rated 18+ those only are AO games which are very rare... I think the only one of those I've ever played was the uncut version of manhunt 2 and it really wasn't bad enough to be AO in my opinion.
Funny thing is I loved Conflict: desert Storm 2 but it was rated T for Teen in America when I played it. My first M rated game was Halo 2.gigastar said:
Well, since Diablo 1 on the PC is rated M+, I'd say Diablo. Age, Uuuh, 5? My mom also let me watch her play Leisure Suit Larry games around that age.
May be why I am perverted, but you don't see me clicking cows all day.

None. The only rating that's 18+ in the ESRB is AO and that isn't stocked hardly anywhere.
Alright, I'll play along, although I will point out that M is 17+...
Technically it was Halo 2, but I only played it for half an hour or so, so I'll go with the first one I owned instead.
Fable TLC
Age at time: 10
Not that bad imo, the violence only gets strong when you get a head shot with a bow and aside from that it's mainly mild language. It's also interesting to note that Fable 2 was the game that made me get around to finally picking up a 360. I think that the Fable series will always hold a special place in my heart, no matter how much Molyneux milks it. (Dear god, could I have worded that any more cheesily)

Wow. I've only just noticed that ps1 games have ratings. I remember the good old days when anyone of any age could walk into a game store and buy any game they wished.
OT: Probably a ps1 game but I'm too lazy to look through all their ratings so I'm going to go with red ninja on the xbox.
I would've been about 10/11.
It's pretty violent all right. You could chop off peoples heads and a fountain of blood would spray out. You could also chop off their feet and they'd crawl a bit before dieing.
One more thing to all the people saying halo. In my country they're all 16's except I think halo 2 is only a 15. So they don't count for me.

First game I played that later got an ESRB rating was Doom, which during it's re-releases has gotten an M. I was 9 at the time I first played it, and at that point the ESRB didn't exist, but I would say it would've gotten an M rating if they did. The first game I played that probably would've gotten an M rating was Curse of the Catacombs, I think I was 7 when I played it, but the ESRB wasn't around and it wasn't re-released on any other console so it was never rated. I think the first game I ever played that had a rating was Wolfenstein 3-D, which was rated PC-13 for "Profound Carnage" by Id/Apogee. But damn I still love Doom.
Resident Evil 3. My sister made it funny for me though because she said the Nemesis was actually a grumpy Librarian who was chasing down the policemen for late fines. Never explained why he had half a face and tentacles though...
Umm I think my first 18+ game was either a game called Legend or MGS 1 on the ps one. Legend had the regular fighting of monsters and such to progress whilst MGS 1 had shooting people and some blood splatters. Oh and it also read my memory card.
Well i live in Australia, so we don't have "18+" games here, but my first game that warranted an adult rating over the pond, was Assassins Creed, when I was 15.
