How old were you when you played your first M rated game?

[DarkFlare69]

I was 5 when I played Doom and Heretic, at 6 I started playing Duke Nukem 3D and Quake.

 

[DinohScene]

Me first game I ever played was Asteroids on an arcade cabinet when I was 4.​

After that...... I think Quake when I was 6?​

 

[Sicklyboy]

I was somewhere between 6 and 8 when I got ShadowMan for the N64

 

[Social_Outlaw]

I think I was 6 or 7 when I played Syphon filter for the PS1

 

[XDel]

I'm thinking 14, when I first played Leisure Suit Larry 1 (type edition).

Though if you want to count Bionic Commando before it was censored, then 12. I can't think of anything before that.

I was about 6 when I first played turok for the 64, that game was horrifying (back then)

Cool thread (I suggested BTW) anyway it was gta 3 when I was 7 or 8. Story was I went to my moms friends house and her highschool aged son had the game but went out with friends so why he was gone I played his ps2 with some other kid she was watching and played a bmx game and gta 3.

Wait, they have GTA III for the ps1? Are you mistaken with ps2, or gta ii?

That was an error I meant ps2

I'm not 100% sure. I was definitely very young at the time, but I recall it being some Quake or Doom type game, possibly Quake 2. I remember my dad had brought home a new PC, some "top of the line" thing for work and he let me play some games on it and one of them I definitely went around shooting stuff in a Doom-style game.

My dad was a gamer as well as my older brother, so there wasn't really many "restrictions" on the ratings of games I could play as a kid, so I never really experienced that whole "wow I'm playing a rated M game this is so cool!" feeling some people get. I hardly ever look at game ratings nowadays, too, and it's been yeeears since I really even cared

Funny that's how I felt when I played GTA which I really didn't see was that bad although the game made no sense at all (atleast to me at that time)

 

[ilman]

Either Counter Strike or God of War: Chains of Olympus. I got my PSP when I was 8 and the 2 games on it were GoW and YuGiOh: Tag Force 2. God, how I loved that thing 'till it broke.

 

[KidIce]

I was playing M rated games before there were ratings. Atari VCS/2600 - Mystique games. C=64 - Barbarian/Death Sword. Amiga - Moonstone. Arcade - Mortal Kombat.

And I walked six miles to school every day... In 48" of snow... Uphill... BOTH WAYS!!!

 

[TyBlood13]

It was Mortal Kombat II for me. My dad loves that game and gave em his Genesis with that and a few other games with I 6. Wouldn't play another M rated game (had no particular reason to avoid them, just never was interested in another game that was) until SMT IV

 

[chavosaur]

Mine was Resident Evil on the PS1 when I was about 4/5 years old. Let me tell you, this fucking scene haunted my dreams unti, I was like 10

 

[epicboy]

I played Turok and body harvest on the n64 when I was like 4 or 5. Then my brother borrowed Conker's bad fur day.. I played that game when I was about 8, never got to beat it

 

[Taleweaver]

Leisure suit Larry in the land of the lounge lizards. The first edition (on a green-and-black monitor, horrible soundcard and with typing), though I don't think it was anywhere near release date. I must've been somewhere between 10 and 12. And I actually learned English that way.

 

[Lucifer666]

GTA San Andreas on the PS2 back when I was 7-ish?

 

[Cyan]

Games weren't rated when I started playing them

 

[Blebleman]

Games weren't rated when I was little either, so technically the first M rated game I played was the first M rated game : Mortal Kombat.
