Poll: your first M game

[Yoshemo]

Turok 1. I was 6 ...or doom. I don't remember

 

[SovietSecrets]

Doom or Mortal Kombat. Pretty sure I was either 7-8.

 

[A random person]

Played: Halo.

Owned: The Orange Box.
My parents were relatively protective with games until Christmas when I was 13, when they gave me the Orange Box and let me have M-rated games.

 

[cynicalandbored]

Carmageddon 2 when I was 10. Oh that joyous Christmas morning...

 

[vacuumbrand]

I think mine was Metal Gear Solid for PS1. I was probably about 7 or 8.

 

[Deleted]

Mortal Kombat, man those were the days.

 

[Da_Schwartz]

Mortal Kombat. And yes i was under 18 yrs old. Probably the first game to score massive media exposure for violence and outrageed mothers *sigh. That i can remember anyway. But played plenty of games before that on the pc that had there been an actual rating system when they were released woulda been sporting a big fat M on the cover. Or cd Jewel case as i think they were called lol.

 

[DemonCleaner]

Prince of Persia 2 thrones

There was no ESRB at the time, but they formed due to this game and rated it M. Mortal Kombat of course. I was 2 when I first played. And I have killed hundreds of people and I'm completely emotionally unstable and I'm a threat to society because of it.

 

[NuclearPenguin]

Manhunt at like.. 7/8
I have the urge to stab people with spoons...
Oh wait.. That never happens

 

[DazZ.]

Doom, I think Wolfenstein was 13+.

Or that's what it said on a blue screen when I loaded it up.

First M rated game? Would have to say Mortal Kombat for the Sega Genesis. I was about 5-6.
SUB-ZERO spin rip anyone?

 

[Blitzkrieg64]

First for me was Metal Gear Solid, I was about 12 years old, found it in a pawn shop for $15 and I beat it about 5 times before getting a PS2 and more games. My main games for the time were MGS, Chrono Trigger and Mortal Kombat.

 

[Vrex360]

First played was Halo: Combat evolved and I was ten when it came out. I had played Goldeneye prior to that but I don't know if it was an M rating.
First owned was King King and Halo 2 and possibly Fable.
