When did you get your first M rated game?

[gurall200]

Metal Gear Solid 2 when I was 9-11, you can imagine my genuine surprise...

Spoiler

.. when I saw a naked adult male running around a tanker/ultimate mega device of ultimate evilly destruction (seriously, anyone who played it, WHAT WAS THAT?) and Snake disappearing after 30 minutes..

..for a elementary school kid, that game rocked my world in every conceivable way.

That game turned me into a man. I cried at the ending. It's a god damn passage to manhood....

Did you shed MANLY tears?

I was 10 or 11 when I got Red Dead Revolver.

 

[Dr. Pepper Unlimited]

Umm, the first "graphically" violent game I played was the original GTA. Granted, it was graphically violent for its time. I don't really recall how old I was though. Hmm, now I feel old. :<

 

[MASTACHIEFPWN]

First M rated game I played was Gears of War. Before that it was just Ratchet and Clank or Jak... Good times...

 

[Rewdalf]

GTA III at age ten or so...
Actually, my cousin had bought me GTA2 for my birthday when I was eight.
Sure, the graphics weren't super-realistic, but I was still jacking cars and shooting people...

I'm sorry to say that playing those games at such a young age turned me into the merciless killing machine I am today.

No, wait, that's not right.
I meant to say that they had no adverse effects on me at all...

Either Duke Nukem: A Time to Kill or Mortal Kombat 4. I know I was 10 when I got MK4 but I couldn't tell you when I got Duke Nukem.

 

[Shadowtek]

Doom - age 7

Quake 3 Arena - age 15 (first time I bought me OWN 18+ game)

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

Hmm... it was either Duke Nukem: Time to Kill or Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition on the PS1 and PC respectively. I was about... 6 or 7 at the time.

 

[aLivingPheonix]

Halo: Combat Evolved at... ten?

Loved FPSs since.

Heeeyyy, we both have the same game. I've also loved FPSs since I played H:CE on PC.

Yeah, Halo: Combat Evolved was my first M game.

I need to go find my copy of it...

 

[King of Wei]

MGS1 when I was around 4 or 5. Apparently I was a real matured toddler.

 

[Jeffster92]

Diablo at age 6

 

[LaMer]

Jaws: Unleashed. I was 10, I believe. Badass game.

 

[Kevlar Eater]

Let's see... my first M-rated game was Mortal Kombat for the Sega Genesis. I thought nothing of the blood and stuff, and to this day, I still think nothing of blood/gore in games.

I was probably, like... 5 or 6. Dunno, to be frank.

 

[Varitel]

Diablo I back in 1998, I was 8 years old.

 

[Kitteman]

At five years old and it was HALO

 

[AnonymousTipster]

I'm not sure exactly...it was probably something on the N64. Maybe Perfect Dark?

Assuming it was Perfect Dark, then I would have been 10 years old.

 

[Eumersian]

Not mine, but my brother and I purchased Diablo for my dad on Father's Day. He let me play it though. I remember not getting very far, but still having a lot of fun. I believe I was 7 at the time. I got it a few years after it came out, if I remember correctly.

 

[kaveradeo]

My dad bought me Mortal Kombat when I was 8.

BEAT YOU. Turok dinosaur hunter age 2.

That is such a great game... wait.... you were two?

Damn, I guess if shit went down with dinosaurs you would be the person to call.

My mom was real mad at my dad for getting it since it was m.

 

[Sn1P3r M98]

Not totally sure how old I was, maybe 7? Not sure, but it was Marine Sharpshooter on the computer.
