For PC games, probably Wolfenstein 3D.
For Console games: Definitely the Mortal Kombat games on the Super Nintendo. I’m actually kinda surprised that my parents got them for me.

While I think it predates M ratings, least the original release, but Doom would be my first M rated game. Though Mortal Kombat would be the other.

Yeah I was already a grown man when there were ratings so the answer would be whatever was the first one that appealed to me that came out with the M was.

The rating system was non existent when I played video games.. I will just say the first game with mature content I played. I think it might have been game based adaptation of the Charles Bronson Death Wish movies for the Amiga 5000.. it was a side scroller and really violent.. I remember the shotgun really messed people up. .. it was not long before Dad hid that floppy disc (it came in a multipack) Looking it up .. it was based on Death Wish 3 Ah, I figured there would be someone else who grew up in that era that commented. I suppose I don't know for certain which games would have gotten an M rating from the 2nd generation of consoles (I doubt any of the games on the Coleco Telstar Arcade would have gotten an M rating, though the light gun that came with it certainly would have). I wonder if The Heist (on the Colecovision) would have gotten it since you spend the entire game running around in a museum stealing every painting in the joint (You're not actually a thief according to the manual. You're a spy who is trying to find a microdot left by a fellow spy on the back of the canvas of some random painting in the museum and the only way to be sure you got the right one is to abscond with all of them.) If you are looking for gore, I actually loved playing Circus Atari purely for the humor of the animation that results every time you fail to catch a performer with the seesaw (they land head-first in a brain crushing splat and then stay there with their legs still up in the air twitching. I'm betting that Tobias and Boon got their early inspiration for Mortal Kombat that way.) I suppose the first games that I can definitively state would have gotten an M rating would have been a compilation of adult games my mom's boyfriend had on his computer, but if you want me to tell you the names of any of the games I don't remember them. (No, I was not allowed to play those games. Yes, his kids and I certainly gave said games a whirl anyways.)

Probably Killer Instinct, since I got ID'd when I bought it. I don't think I got the MKII SNES port until after that. KI was rated T (Teen) here in the States. It may have been different in other parts of the world, though.

It may have been different in other parts of the world, though. It didn't have any on-the-box age rating here in the UK, as at the time there was no official regulatory commission for video games. Some games were given classifications by the British Board of Film Classification, but those were more or less exclusive to the 32-bit generations onwards. The only reason I got ID'd was because of the violent video game panic that the media was still pushing at the time.

Probably MK1 or MK2, my parents weren’t as antsy about me being exposed to gore as they were sexually explicit stuff and dirty dialogue.

Either Mortal Kombat 3 or DOOM 2. I was 11. I would've said the original MK, but that predated game ratings and I only played the censored SNES version.

The first game I remember playing that had an age rating on it was the original Resident Evil. I don't think games before that had age ratings in the UK.

Mortal Kombat on the Genesis.
Parents were well aware of the controversy so I had to play it at a friends house who’s parents were less savvy.
It was awesome

I am tempted to say Mortal Kombat as well. But how about NARC?
No graphic dismembering like MK, but you had blood, you had people exploding, prostitutes, references to drugs and porn.
But then I am remembering another somewhat racy game that only I seem to remember.
FRED ROGERS, TERRORIST.
Not graphic, but definitely had adult type humor and the "novelty" of killing warped versions of the Neighborhood of Make Believe characters.
