Poll: your first M game

[minidevil921]

Alot of people ignore the whole 18+ on the box so i was just wondering when was your 1st rated M game and were you legaly allowed to play it. A bunch of my little brothers friends who r in 6th grade play like GTA so i just wanted to know.

Halo. That was such a good game I was obsessed with it. I was 10 I think when I got it.

 

[Sassafrass]

First played GTA 3 at 13.
Owned GTA 3 at 13.

I'M A MASSED MURDERER! FEAR ME!

 

[Yumi_and_Erea]

I played the original Doom when I was like 11 years old.
And I loved every second of it.

Syphon Filter all the way, what better way to teach a growing lad about the dangers fire than by giving him a tazer that sets people alight

DOOM - 8? 9? Maybe. 18? No! No! No!

The first one I ever owned was Resident Evil 4. I think of it as my gateway into real gaming. Before then I had only been a casual gamer but I picked up Resident Evil 4 and loved it. Then I went out and bought a 360 so I could play Resident Evil 5 even though it was like a year before it came out. That brought me to games like The Orange Box, Dead Rising, Fallout 3, and Gears of War 2.

Oh I was under 18 and I still am, so I guess it wasn't legal.

original doom when I was like 6. It was on my grandpa's computer and I was apparently really good at the game too.

The first GTA when I was 5. Or maybe it was 4. I remember playing in the morning during weekends while everybody was sleep with no sound. Then I used to turn it off with Alt+F4 as soon as I heard footsteps or a creaking door. I was a sneaky little child. Ah, good times.

 

[GodofDisaster]

Dino Crisis and no I wasn't the legal age to play it.

 

[Captain Pancake]

Hell no was I over eighteen. Still not, but it won't stop me from finding loopholes. It's not like it has any negative side effects...

 

[nativebelle]

Um, it was the first GTA. I would have been about 6 when it was released, so 6 or 7? That seems so young, but it's not like there was anything that graphic in it. I'm clearly now a violent and misunderstood individual for playing it, though.

 

[AdambotLive]

Unreal tournament 3. *Raises £5 note, lights on fire and waves in air*

 

[Tempest Fox]

First game that I ever played as well as owned is Mortal Kombat 4. And, yeah, I technically wasn't supposed to play it as I wasn't old enough to do so at the time. My parents were the one that ended up buying it for me (along with Goldeneye, both on the N64).

Scratch that. Thinking about it now, the first game I had played had to be the original DOOM, followed by Duke Nukem 3D (introduced by my cousin-in-law and cousin respectively).

 

[comadorcrack]

oo god. This is thinking back a lot of years. Um probably Tenchu

 

[Aptspire]

Halo 1

 

[Cargando]

No, and it was Bioshock. O_0

Same here, except I was 8. My babysitter's kids were playing Mortal Kombat at that time and they were 6 and 4. I remember even back then thinking that was a little fucked up, but I fucking loved Doom and Wolf3D. Somewhere I have a fan letter that I wrote (never sent) to iD software when I was 9.

EDIT: For the record, never had a history of violence or psychotic behavior. SUCK ON THAT, MEDIA MATTERS GROUP!

My first M game was actually before the rating system, but it consistently gets an M today: Wolfenstein 3D. I was 3. I died. A lot.
