Both already mentioned, but for me it was probably either Bionic Commando or Rambo (NES).
Final Fantasy VII was kind of a novelty when it came out though as having the highest degree of profanity I'd seen up to that point.

The earliest profanity in a game that I can remember hearing is in Day of the Tentacle. Hoagie often responds to Look At X with "Bitchin'!"
There's also quite a few damns in DOTT, but I didn't catch them until years later when I played the game on a decent soundcard that didn't muffle the speech. Waking up Dr. Fred with the coffee through a funnel causes him to exclaim "DAMN GOOD COFFEE!!!" Also in the future, there's a rather funny line:
Laverne: Damn that Dr. Fred.
Zed: Hey, she knows the Edison family motto!
I also picked up some colorful language from Total Distortion. Granted, "suck" and "turd" are more 90s-relative slang than actual profanity.
On the subject of games with profanity not getting a T or higher rating, The Dig is certainly an enigma. It has casual profanity throughout, and even a scene where someone's arm is sawed off, and it still had a K-A rating. Sam & Max had just as much profanity, and the violence wasn't as serious, but I'm pretty sure it got a T.
XD That's it, thanks. Imagine if that game was ever presented to an English-speaking audience back in the day, by Nintendo, during a huge convention.Originally Posted by SparTonberry

What makes it even more amusing is that the text is colorful in the literal and figurative sense.

Ah I was raised a Nintendo kid with the only non-Nintendo console being the Genesis until I was a teenager. So the first dirty words I heard were on Perfect Dark when you kill somebody: You Bitch!
Except Renegade on NES did have mean characters when you died:
"Get lost punk!"
"Beat it scum!"

I'm a collector, but only to a certain extent.

For me it was probably Hitler at the end of Bionic Commando, too. Him cussin' at me really pissed me off and fired me up to beat him. Not that it really did a lot of good because it took me a terribly long time to beat the last boss and get the timing right to make his head asplode, but at least when it did it was very, very satisfying. Still my favorite game ending ever.
Yep - Bionic Commando was actually two firsts for me; not only (possibly) the first profanity I remember in a game, but my first exploding head as well.

The Oregon Trail on a school computer. Someone else chose to play as "F***er" and I happened to cross his tombstone.
For me, it was Metal Gear Solid.

I don't remember what was said but it was damn or shit when the ball went out of court. I was pretty shocked at the time so I remember that it was some swear word
Censorship sure has come a long way, no?
"If each mistake being made is a new one, then progress is being made."
That really isn't a very creative name.

Golgo 13 had the "H" word in it I think.

You mean Golgo 13? What H word? horny?
I think they said Hell, lol!You mean Golgo 13? What H word? horny?
What, nobody played Q*bert?
Not a word, but an odd one on NES era NOA's part, in the manual for Kid Icarus, the drawing of the Syren has the boobs uncensored. I guess it's okay if they're blue and on winged monster females. They're also topless in the game, but it's not as blatant, since they don't appear to have nipples unlike in the manual.
Leather Goddesses of Phobos, maybe? I don't remember if they use any obscenities in that one, or in Leisure Suit Larry.
