What was the first ever rated "M" game?

[krome]

thats what i said

i remember when sega had to pull it off the shelves becuz it was so violent

man i remeber when it was out for SNES with no blood or fatalitys till part 2 came out...... sega needed that abacabb code for it...

i also think DOOM was the 1st...... to get that M rating

Thanks for the info everyone. I did my presentation on violence in video games today, it went very well. I talked about the whole issue for a few minutes, then we needed to show a visual, so I rented Manhunt for Xbox, and recorded myself playing it, and showed it to the class.

I got a lot of good responses, the class was actually interested. During the violent stealth kills, the guys would say things like "Damn that was crazy!" and the girls were like "Oh my god!"

In the end I got comments like "great presentation man," and "damn can I borrow that game?"

Thanks again.
