When did you get your first M rated game?

Mortal Kombat on my friend's Genisis at like age 7, then GTA III at age 9. I turned out to be a well behaved Eagle Scout who's active in politics and actually pretty much a pacifist. I guess different people react differently to different things at different ages, instead of any kid being exposed to a violent video game at any age under 25 is scarred and their view of reality is skewed forever and become criminals. Who would've guessed?
Wolfenstein 3D(if that counts), and I was about 10.
And I haven't raped anyone yet, go figure...

Doom for the Sega 32x (no idea why my dad got my a 32x for Christmas; I didn't even know the 32x existed before that) at age 5-7ish??? The pink beastmen things scared me so bad I stopped playing and never played it again until I was older.
I was... nine or so? Max Payne, Halo, Splinter Cell and all that stuff. I had a PS2 as well, but I don't think that we ever had any really violent games on that.
Anyway, I'm perfectly well adjusted - though probably slightly biased in my opinion on that matter - doing well in school and so on. I haven't become a satanist, I don't rape innocent maidens, take part in mass murders or anything of the sort. Take that, fox news!

The most violent game I played as a kid was probably GoldenEye and I didn't own it.
My mother had issues with me watching Pokemon because of the violence and didn't even let me watch Power Rangers. =(
Wait I'm a liar now, I played Diablo and Diablo 2 at a very young age because my Uncle was super awesome. I was likely 12 or something, give or take 2 years.
I don't spend an enormous amount of effort remembering last week, a decade ago is to much for me.
To spare everyone the long version, no, Diablo was not at fault for anything.
And vaguely related: School. For those of you keeping score on what actually was the primary blame.

Think I was 11 or 12, and it was maybe Metal Gear Solid... Or Syphon Filter 2...
First one I played though was Doom, at age 7 or 8?
Didn't effect me in anyway...

When I was 10, my babysitter gave me Turok Dinosaur Hunter. I thought it sucked then and I think it sucks now.
Duke Nukem 3D back when it was new in 1996. I was 9 years old at the time. My dad introduced me to the hard stuff right away. Best dad ever 
I convinced my dad to let me get Oblivion when I was 14 after I proved to him it was only rated M because of the Mods people were making for it. I was such a goddamn happy camper. He even bought me the strategy guide for it too I love my dad.
I love my dad.
Hmmm... I think I was 10 years old when I got Unreal Tournament for the Ps2. I think that was my first M rated game
