When we were kids, there were always those “forbidden fruit” games—titles we desperately wanted to play, but our parents wouldn’t let us near because of the big M rating on the box. Whether it was because of violence or language those games felt like they were off-limits and extra cool because of it.
Sometimes, though, we found ways to get around that. Maybe a cool older relative bought it for us, or a clueless one. Or maybe one of our friends just so happens to own one.
Now when I say own, I don’t mean borrowed for a couple days or played at a friend’s house. Like for me, There were a couple games I remember playing at friends including the South Park game on Nintendo 64 and Halo on Xbox. I also remember playing Grand Theft Auto 3 my older cousin’s place.
But if I were to say, what was the first game not only played but I owned, that would be Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance on the GameCube. I remember getting that game for my 10th birthday from one of my aunts and I remember having a lot of fun with that game: Trying to try all the fatalities and trying to open all of the Krypts.
What about you guys: what was the first M-rated game (Or M rated equivalent) you ever owned?
