I'm not sure. I think it was Konker's Bad Furday for N64.
I was 6 or 7 at the time.
Bees having sex flowers, cow exploding to bits, giant poop monster throw poop at you and sing at the same time, and also, turning into a vampire bat and pooping on villegers.
Not exactly for kids.

Well, technically my first M game was Doom and Hexxen when I was 3. First one I bought was Red Faction for PS2 when I was 8, violence for the young ones!
Mortal Kombat doesn't count for me, because although I got it when I was 13 it was only rated 15. Similarly, the Doom games were only rated 15 in the UK, so they don't count either.
To be honest, I don't think many games were rated 18 in the UK during the 90's. The first 18 rated game I can remember getting was Carmageddon, which controversially courted a 18 rating from the BBFC, although I was 17 when it was released and I may have actually been 18 when I bought it.
However, if I were to count a game that would have received an M or 18 rating in America if such rating were in place at the time, then it would have probably been one of the more risque game on my ZX Spectrum, one of the games actually aimed at adults with slightly blue humour and sex references, like How To Be A Complete Bastard or Rockstar Ate My Hamster.
Violence wise, the Spectrum ports of Robocop, Renegade or Target: Renegade possibly would have received an 18 rating, since the were pretty visceral despite their lack of sophisticated graphics.

I don't know what it was rated in America, but it was MA15+ in Australia, MDK. I was 6 years old
Well, maybe the first I laid eyes on was the original Doom, the one I remember most vividly was Silent Hill 1, when I was maybe 8. Both of these would also count in the other thread about, "games that scared you as a kid". I was more scared of Doom though... didn't like the tiny screen and first-person perspective combo.
Jeebus maybe... Doom waaaaaayyyy back in the early 90's, the first one I really remember was probably the first Fallout game, that's the first game where I remember going "WHOOOOAAAAA" over the violence.
Oops, forgot Mortal Kombat, so it was probably Mortal Kombat.

If by 18+, you mean M (17+) by America's ESRB, it was Diablo, a few years after it cam out I think. I was 7 when I bought it for my dad on Father's day, and he let me play it, since it wasn't really that bad. There was pixellated gore, some swearing, lots of violence. Good times with that game.
