William Blazkowicz Posted January 10, 2014 I'm pretty sure most of us have played an M rated game in our youth. It does not matter when you played it, however, but what was your first M rated game you ever played? As for me, the first M rated game I played was Mortal Kombat on a controller that you plug into the TV. 0 Share this post Link to post
DoomUK Posted January 10, 2014 It was either Mortal Kombat or Night Trap (that awful interactive movie thing for the Mega CD/Sega CD). I can't recall the order in which I played them. 0 Share this post Link to post
Doominator2 Posted January 10, 2014 If I can recall my first M rated game was Perfect Dark on the N64 when it first came out. 0 Share this post Link to post
Avoozl Posted January 10, 2014 Probably Mortal Kombat 3 on the Sega Megadrive, the game was rented and it was my brother who owned the Sega system. 0 Share this post Link to post
Kontra Kommando Posted January 10, 2014 I'm pretty sure for me, it was Mortal Kombat back in 1992. 0 Share this post Link to post
MajorRawne Posted January 10, 2014 There's no M rating in the UK, they used 12, 15 and 18 back then. Doom was either a 15 or 18. I think it was the first take to carry such a rating, so that would have been it for me. 0 Share this post Link to post
schwerpunk Posted January 10, 2014 Doom for the SNES. I remember very specifically, because of how dismayed I was when my parents forbade me to rent it. They changed their mind shortly after, without any whining on my part, and I was forever changed. 0 Share this post Link to post
Platinum Shell Posted January 10, 2014 Using my amazing skills of deduction, my first memory of Doom would have to be Odyssey of Noises, Map 29 of the Plutonia Experiment. My grandpa was on the roof top of a brown building in the level and if I recall correctly, the sky was red? (I haven't played through all of TNT or Plutonia yet partly because of all of the amazing content this community makes)Anyway, back to the story, my granpa's dog at the time, Bobobo, got loose and my grandpa left the game in a flash as my mom and him went chasing after the dog. I was left alone to look at the screen, and after about three seconds a revenant (I can't believe how vividly I remember it) came around the corner and started punching Doomguy to death. I laughed. EDIT: Yep, the sky on that level is indeed red! 0 Share this post Link to post
Kirby Posted January 10, 2014 Doom I suppose. Never realized it had an M rating. More significant to my memory of M games thougj was the fame that followed shortly after - Duke Nukem 3D 0 Share this post Link to post
geekmarine Posted January 10, 2014 I think my first M-rated game was Mortal Kombat. I may have played something else before that, but my memory is a little fuzzy. Funny thing is, I hated Mortal Kombat, so I really wasn't into it anyway, but I was at a friend's house and he wanted to play it (I'm not good at fighting games anyway, and I thought the controls sucked). 0 Share this post Link to post

Kontra Kommando Posted January 10, 2014 Not to derail the thread, but I'm very grateful that my family didn't give a shit about content ratings when I was growing up. 0 Share this post Link to post
hardcore_gamer Posted January 10, 2014 Doom is the earliest I remember, though there is some slight chance it could have been some other one I don't remember. 0 Share this post Link to post
Shadow Hog Posted January 10, 2014 First M-rated game I played was probably Halo: Combat Evolved on the original Xbox. I mean, I might've played a demo of something M-rated earlier, and I'd certainly seen bits of Wolfenstein 3D and Doom beforehand, but Halo is the first one I can think of myself putting a good deal of time into. First M-rated game I bought for myself was probably Unreal Tournament 2K4, because I could turn most of the violence off. (Of course, I don't bother to do that anymore, but I dunno, it was a selling point for me at the time.) First M-rated game I bought for myself after turning 17, though? Doom. This compilation, specifically. 0 Share this post Link to post
Chopkinsca Posted January 10, 2014 I have to say Doom as well. My first game that actually had an M rating was Turok. I was at the game rental store and picked it up. My dad was with me and just told me to make sure the violence wasn't real. 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted January 10, 2014 I played a bit but not much of one of the earlier Leisure Suit Larry games, maybe the first or second one, at a cousin's house. 0 Share this post Link to post
Phobus Posted January 10, 2014 Doom was the first game to get an ESRB rating at all, IIRC - in fact, I believe the ratings were actually introduced because of Doom. So obviously Doom was my first 18 rated game. Followed by Doom II and Duke 3D, all by the time I was 7 :P 0 Share this post Link to post
printz Posted January 10, 2014 Diablo, the Lord of Terror, and Leader of the Three!!! 0 Share this post Link to post
Nomad Posted January 10, 2014 For games that have been retroactively given ESRB ratings, probably Doom, Rise of the Triad, or MK2. Not sure which one of these I actually played first. 0 Share this post Link to post
Kontra Kommando Posted January 10, 2014 http://www.wired.com/thisdayintech/2009/07/dayintech_0729/ Since it was established in September 1994, I guess the first M-rated game I bought that wasn't retroactively given that rating would be Mortal Kombat 3. 0 Share this post Link to post
Koko Ricky Posted January 10, 2014 Doom, which would have been M-rated had the standard existed in 1993. As for games with the official rating, Quake. 0 Share this post Link to post
Remilia Scarlet Posted January 10, 2014 I think it was either Wolfenstein 3D or Lethal Enforcers. 0 Share this post Link to post
