What was your first M rated game?

[Paperplanes79]

Rainbow six 3. I don't remember how old I was. Well it wasn't that bad because my PC couldn't handle the gore so the blood was just red mist.

Doom 2. Did they even rate games then?

 

[Spiner909]

Pretty sure it was a Grand Theft Auto game. I hate GTA nowadays though.

 

[Costav]

Doom my brother let me play it he thought I'd get scared but I didn't.

 

[Sh0ckFyre]

Doom. I was three years old and had a Judas Priest record going in the background. Shit was so cash.

 

[MetalDooley]

I honestly can't remember if Nes or Snes games had age ratings here in Ireland so it was probably something on the N64 or PS1.Possibly the first GTA game

 

[Blake_iCE]

Resident Evil 4. I wasn't really interested in anything M rated until then.

This, I remember anticipating xmas so I would have enough money, and the guy saying "This is a really violent game for a 10 year old" and my mum nearly not letting me get it.
Finshed that game so many times.

Technically my first M game was Halo, but since the most violent thing you can do in the game
(besides shooting of course) is just hit aliens with your elbow, and the fact that the aliens make it feel like your shooting at exploding crayons, i really don't consider that to be an M games. So my first REAL M game was GTA 3.

 

[Draco Kaiser]

War Gods on the N64. I think it was M rated since there was a lot of blood.

 

[Drexler]

The first turok, and i didn't even know it was rated M

 

[CNKFan]

Duke Nukem A Time to Kill.

 

[Cacti Pants]

I'm pretty sure it was a Metal Gear game for PS1? I was pretty young. Like five or six. But that was my dad's, so I don't know if that really counts.

Other than that, I think it was either Fable or Halo 2.

So what was the first game you played that was suppose to be for 17 and older? (or whatever the highest rating in your country is)

Mine was Wolfenstein 3D when I was 6 I believe, it was extremely fun for it's time.

Unless it was retroactively rated by the ESRB and you played it a few years after its release, Wolfenstein 3D wouldn't have been M because it existed two years prior to game content ratings.

Anyway, perhaps the first 'M' game I played extensively that wasn't rated retroactively was Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, as I skipped from playing games made pre-1994 on the PC and NES to owning an N64. The first retroactively rated one would've been - I don't know - DOOM, I guess.

I think the ESRB did went back and rated Wolfenstein 3D, because I remember seeing the game in the store with rated M on it. Though my memory is a little bit fuzzy.

 

[ScreamingSoulcatcher]

South Park racing for the PSone <_<

 

[Dr. Paine]

Half Life 2 was the first M rating I played, at sixteen... first one rated T was some Twisted Metal, I was like... eight or so.

 

[dthvirus]

Dogs of War. Really obscure PC RTS game.

 

[JMoney156]

Played: Quake II at age 12
Owned: GTA III at age 15

EDIT: Actually, I played Turok: Dinosaur Hunter at age 11 before playing Quake II.

 

[Heeman89]

Metal Gear Solid on PS1

 

[Burningsok]

One of the Turoks on the N64. OR it could of been Bio Freaks for the N64

Bio Freaks was insane in my opinion.

 

[The Bandit]

Halo

This, at a friends house, when I was 8.

(Is this a low content post, I don't know?)

Who cares? It's probably the dumbest rule on the site.

The first M rated game I owned was probably Halo 2. But, I think the first I played was Turok 64. Resident Evil GameCube remake and GTA Vice City were probably early firsts too.

They just didn't really interest me. My parents didn't care what I played. They took me to R rated movies when I was like seven.
