When did you get your first M rated game?

[KefkaCultist]

Mine was Resident Evil for the Playstation. I dont remember how old I was but I know that it was no where near an appropriate age.
EDIT: My guess is probably somewhere between 6 to 8 years old

EDIT #2: Actually, forget my 1st answer, I just remembered that my 1st M rated game is Diablo. I used to play on my brother's computer all the time and I was 6.

 

[SovietSecrets]

Mortal Kombat 1 in 1997. So I was 6 or 7 at the time.

EDIT: Mortal Kombat when i was a wee lad, dont recall my exact age. but young my cousin had all the cool games that i wasnt allowed to play or boogerman if you want to go all the way back to MA-13 rating lolz

Resident evil directors cut at about the tend age of 8, played manhunt while I was pretty young aswell.

Played all the GTA's on release aswell.

Just goes to show games will never equal a messed up psycho killer.

 

[Sux2bu]

A M game for the PlayStation 2 called alien. I played it with my dad all the time when i was 5.

As an adult now i can say i have murdered and raped a massive total of -1 people.
Thanks fox news, your really are saving the youth aren't you?

 

[CombatEye]

Diablo 1. I was around 14.

 

[Zachary Unkle]

Halo 3 (I played the earlier one later) at the age of 11.

 

[TehCookie]

Duke Nukem 3D, when I was around 4. It was less of my parents buying an M game for me, and more of my dad buying an M game for himself back but I stole it after he installed it (back in the days when you could install a game on more than one computer).

 

[LCP]

Doom and Wolfeinsten 3d..
Good ol' days with not crap unlock systems, "realistic" games, and pay2win games

 

[Solo-Wing]

Unreal Tournament on my old Dreamcast

 

[jcallen]

The first M-game I had played that I remember was the original resident evil for PS1... Besides my sick obseesion for killing zombies I no way had my "precious" childhood ruined.

When I was like 10-11 my mom brought home a copy of Doom 2 from her office at work. She had played and beaten it so she knew the violence in it but still thought I would like it. That said she still had control over it cause while I was free to play it she was the only one who knew how to load it from the DOS.

 

[Hollock]

Mortal Kombat at 3, DOOM and Metal Gear solid at 5. My parents didn't care and I had an older brother (four years older so he had it at 7 and 9 at least). It's ruined my life, now I have to watch CSI, Law and Order, forensic files, and Dexter just so I can keep up with the latest in how not to get arrested for the many murders you do because you played violent video games.

 

[ImprovizoR]

Ratings never had any bearing in my country. 12 year old kids can buy porn if they want too. And they usually do. I bought anything I wanted. And I turned out just fine. I didn't murder anybody, and I didn't rape anybody. And I'm a pretty calm person. Proving once more that violent behavior doesn't come from violent video games.

 

[Jawz 014]

I first played Halo CE when I was six or so but I didn't own a xbox until i was 8 and then i got Halo

 

[ThatLankyBastard]

I got mine at the ripe age of 6...

*sigh*... Mortal Kombat...

Good times... Good times...

 

[BENZOOKA]

Duke Nukem 3D at 8-9 years old. Half-Life at age 10. Doom sometime near Duke Nukem. Also: Blood, GTA, Doom II, Wolfenstein 3D.

All in all, a bunch of adult titles when I was 8-12. Never paid barely any attention to age ratings.

 

[teh_Canape]

Doom on the PC age 4

I'm with this guy

apparently I was "super intelligent" when I was little, so my dad figured I could tell between people and flying brown heads with arms and horns that spit out flying flaming skulls

and I didn't turned into a psychotic terminator, like, at all

 

[krugerrand123]

Metal gear solid 3 at 13, I convinced my parents it was more about survival and you did not have to kill every enemy,so they let me get it.

 

[McTom]

I remember playing Doom when I was young, probably around 8 or so with my dad watching, helping me with the controls. Duke Nukem 3d followed shortly after, and I managed to turn the kiddy filter off all on my own. I think it's probably worth noting that these games wouldn't get an M or 18+ rating these days though (although that is definitely up for debate), so the first which probably counts would be GTA 3 at 13 or so.
