Mortal Kombat

 

[Happosai]

Quake 1 on PC. On a console I think it was Turok 2: Seeds of Evil.

[Jade Knight 08]

Mortal Kombat on Sega Genesis

 

[Alex Anderson]

Another one was Barbarian, also played it on my Spectrum, not sure the age rating but there was decapitations and one of the best covers ever.

He must work out.

 

[AzekZero]

The earliest two I can remember is Company of Heroes [Windows XP, 2006] and COD4: Modern Warfare [Xbox 360, 2007.]

 

[fersnake]

I can't remember that far but it might be MK2.

[Jormatar]

Manhunt when I was like 10. I was so proud to show my mom what kind of game she had bought to his kid. I remember her face to this day lol.

 

[baphomet]

I don't know, what was the first ESRB MA rated game? I was playing plenty of them before they had a ratings system, and then more when the VRC started rating games.

 

[El Muerto]

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Whose In My Mouth. It's where you get a bunch of friends together, turn off the lights, and then... oh. You meant video games. This is awkward...

Probably Doom or Mortal Kombat but I'm not sure what games would have been M rated back then

Wasn't Mortal Kombat the first. I believe MK1 was the very reason the rating-system was implemented.

 

[Moses85]

RE2. I was 12

 

[Fart Knight]

Duke Nukem 3D I think

 

[Calverz]

 

[Dazraell]

Probably Doom or Mortal Kombat, but I'm not sure

 

[R6Rider]

GTA III and I still don't understand how I convinced my mom.

I was originally thinking it was Duke Nukem: Time to Kill, but only just realized it had a T rating instead.

 

[ahtlas7]

Puss 'n Boots: Pero's Great Adventure snes, less mature than the title led me to believe.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Wolfenstein, Doom or Alien Vs Predator on the Atari Jaguar. My parents didn't give a shit and it was great!

 

[Mythoclast]

It was some game called True Crime: Streets of LA where you could play as Snoop Dogg. I was like 13.

 

[Wolfpact1983]

Resident Evil 1 on Ps1

 

[AV]

Probably the original GTA when I was like 7. Rated M has come a long way, from this...

... to this.

 

[Kadve]

Still trying to figure out how i convinced my dad to pirate it for me. Was like 10.

Also got this on a demo disc back in the day. Should honestly been rated M in my mind. Had nightmare about being eaten alive for weeks....

 

[acidagfc]

Either Doom on a school PC or UMK3 on my own Genesis, not sure which one was first.
No one cared about age ratings back then, since all games were pirated.

 

[The Pleasure]

Whose In My Mouth. It's where you get a bunch of friends together, turn off the lights, and then...

 

[The Sum of Zero]

Metal Gear Solid.

 

[Laptop1991]

Doom or Duke Nukem back in 95.

 

[alexross]

MK in the arcades (but we know the rating system wasn't born at the time), on pc if not the first Carmageddon

 

[scoobidoo112]

Wolfenstein 3D and Duke Nukem 3D.

 

[Sintoid]

There was no "M" rate at that time, I played "Chiller" from Exidy in some arcade, it was 1986 and I was 13

It was a lot of fun

 

[Flash Junkins]

Narc in the arcade.

 

[d00msday]

Probably Wolfenstein or Mortal Kombat.

The first one that I remember being an '18' rating where I live was Kingpin:Life of Crime

 

[Varteras]

Wasn't Mortal Kombat the first. I believe MK1 was the very reason the rating-system was implemented.

Mortal Kombat is certainly the game that got popular enough to have its depictions cause a stir on a large scale. But there were probably other games back then that would have warranted an M rating. Like Custer's Revenge. Which probably would have received an even more strict rating. You were basically a cowboy with a boner, dodging arrows in order to rape a naked Native American woman tied to a pole. The game came out in 1982. About a decade before Mortal Kombat.

Spoiler: Kinda NSFW

 

[zokie]

Resident Evil 6 - if that lady boss has actual nipples and the other female nudity has nipples
i fear it would be rated AO

 

[Hohenheim]

Wolfenstein 3D on my friends older Brother's PC. Mind blowing.

Also seeing the original Mortal Kombat arcade in a diner place where I grew up, and feeling my hands shaking when it was finally my turn.
I couldn't believe those insane, lifelike graphics! And all that blood!
Good, good memories

 

[deriks]

Not sure if was Doom or Mortal Kombat

 

[rodrigolfp]

MK1 was MA13 on consoles.

Arcade.

 

[kurisu_1974]

I think Leisure Suit Larry on PC but I also had some Strip Poker and weird MSX games. Not sure about the chronology of it all, must have been around 1987 - 1988.

 

[Punished Miku]

Probably MK1 arcade. Congress got involved lol.

 

[Tarnpanzer]

Either Doom on SNES(@older Cousin 1), or Doom on PC(@older Cousin 2).

Or maybe Mortal Kombat 1 on SNES(which my father bought). But this was heavily censored in Germany, but still somewhat brutal.

 

[drotahorror]

Arcade.

Videogame Rating Council was established in 1993. MK came out in 92 in arcades

I took the thread literal aka actual M rating by the ESRB.

But yeah I guess MK in arcade would be my first. I can’t recall playing any “mature” dos games before that.

 

[Kings Field]

MK in the arcade and then got it for the SNES.
