Nope, Mortal Kombat was the first game to take violence to the next level. Everything before was just kiddie stuff.

Yup, check out Death Race from 1976. It's primitive by today's standards, but running over stick figures was pretty violent!

Heck yeah! NARC (1988) had players blowing up drug dealers with rocket launchers, way before Mortal Kombat's fatalities.
