Not the oldest examples but Sega CD games like Silpheed and Time Gal had words like shit and bitch. I remember thinking how pathetic the industry was in terms of self censorship in that tame stuff like that even stood out.

I clearly remember Barret saying "Shit"
I remember how surprised I was when I'd always read Barret's dialogue in Final Fantasy VII. He swore up a storm all the time in that game.
I remember playing FF7, reading Cid's dialouge and trying to figure out what words he was saying considering the censor wasn't like $%#&, it was like $#@*&+@%$^#@%#$!*%!&, I mean what the hell could he have been saying there?
Quite a few of the ones mentioned above are familiar. In certain styles of games you kind of expect it I guess more than others. I was actually shocked in Shenmue the few times there were swear words in it, mostly delivered by Gui Zhang
I'm pretty sure the first time I heard a swear in a game was from the Gold Fly in Breath of Fire 2. When you beat him, he says something along the lines of "Uhhhhh.....Damn" No period, of course- this is BOF2 we're talking about.
Needless to say, I was pretty surprised by that as a kid.
