The ESRB has only been around since mid-1990s, I don't know of "M-Rated" really covers that much of some of our member's game history. For example, one farther-back example that I can remember of a "violent" game that I played was Doom, though that didn't carry any rating because no such rating existed.
Mortal Kombat? Or GTA1, I dunno. We have different ratings over here. Both were rated '18' which is as high as it gets... well GTA was anyway, I can't mind tbh
I wouldn't swear to it, but I think my first M rated game would be Resident Evil 4. If the rating had existed, it probably would've been the original Mortal Kombat, but then RE4 would still probably be the first M rated game I played very much of, much less completed.
I wonder, though, if Guerrilla War for the NES would've been rated M. I played the hell out of that game when I was little, never knowing that the American version of the game was originally titled Guevara in Japan, and that it was actually a game based on Che Guevara's exploits and the fall of the Batista (with the second player being Fidel Castro). Of course, I had no idea who the hell Che Guevara and Fidel Castro were back then, so who knows if I would've cared anyway.
The first M-rated game I played was Mortal Kombat. It was rated MA-17 on Sega systems which was Sega's rating system before the ESRB came about with their rating system. I have no idea what the first game I played that was rated M with ESRB ratings was.
Mom had heard about it from one of her co-workers back when she worked at Borders. She knew I liked Final Fantasy 7 and since they were made by the same people, well, hey. No harm in it, right? So, she let me rent it.
Huh, if GoldenEye is rated M, then I'm not sure. I hadn't thought about it, since I borrowed it so it's not on my list. I'm not sure if I borrowed that before or after I got RE4.
Mortal Kombat was my first. Then I think Eternal Darkness was the next M game that interested me, but if Sanitarium was M rated, I played it before Eternal Darkness.
Leisure Suit Larry 7, I guess. I was six or seven years old when we got it (we bought LSL7 along with Full Throttle). Don't know what all those moral guardians are worrying about. I mean, I haven't become a sexual pervert or anything, and I'm sure most normal people wouldn't too
I don't know whether they are 'M' rated or not, but my first 'rude, violent, and gore' game was Duke Nukem 3D. I was about 8 I think. I just remember that my primary school teacher wasn't impressed that a girl my age was talking about games like that. I was also playing Doom II and Heretic and what-not around that time.

Ahh, I remember that game very well. Did you ever get nightmares about those weird tiger looking things with machine guns for arms? I don't know how to describe them.
Here, this thing. Does it look like some kind of cross tiger/alien to you?
Mortal Kombat. Granted I didn't play it on it's "official" release in '93 (more like '96) but hey, good times all around. I somehow was always able to do fatalities with Raiden. I loved Raiden. I loved his hat of death.

I don't think any of the games ever gave me nightmares. My brother and I had too much fun co-oping to be scared! Without that picture I wouldn't have known what you were going on about, but yeah. Tiger/Alien does seem to be the only way to describe it!

Unless watching random family members play a wierd gta where cars fall from the sky counts.

I should mention I was 4...

I was twelve.
So last year, then?
Still got you beat by 4 years.
Anyway, my first was, uh... hmm. Either Silent Hill 2 or Metal Gear Solid 3, but I can't recall.
