Bingo, not sure if I was around 10 though.Demented Teddy said:
Also: I owned several playable demo disks with older rated games on them before that as well.
Doom. When I went to my fathers work, he'd often let me mess around on a co-workers computer so I'd quit bothering him. Little did he know that the co-worker in question was a bit of a nerd with Doom, Dune, Warcraft 1 and other various games all installed which I was quick to discover.
Awwww yeah baby, good times were had!

My parents were strict so I didn't get to play them 'til I was 13. But I'm pretty sure it was the first Halo game. (my personal favorite from the series)
Ahhh.. I will remember it always.
The Way of the Samurai for PS2. I was about 9.
Such good memories.

My first Mature-rated game that I remember was Halo: Combat Evolved, which I got when I was 6
I also vaguely remember playing an M rated zombie game for the N64 when I was 5.
No wait, I also had Turok for the N64 when I was only around 4 years old. I have a very violent video game past.

Aaaaah. Turok for the 64. I was, like... Three, I think. I don't remember. I was -still- better at it than my dad. xD
It was Either Doom, Wolfenstein 3D, or Rise of the Triad, and I would have been 5 at the oldest. These games all came out before the rating system, so my parents were less strict at that point. Once the ESRB was fully entrenched, my parents -- moreso my mom than my dad -- started paying attention to the ratings. I didn't get a new M rated game until I got Shogo at the age of 11 or 12, and I still had to fight to get the M rated ones until I was 15 or so. However, it wasn't as big of a deal when I was growing up, because companies were still putting out large numbers of E rated games that weren't shovelware, as well as plenty of T rated games.
I feel bad for kids with strict parents today -- I can't remember the last time I bought an E rated game that wasn't old, a handheld game, or shovelware. Aside from a few really old games I've picked up cheap, every game I've bought since I got my new computer has been rated M, and it's because that's what most games are rated now, not because I'm some kind of Mortal Kombat loving vampire; I went through that phase somewhere between seventh grade and sophomore year of high school.
