Actually it was MK and Night Stalker...which is funny, because Night Stalker doesn't even have anything bad in it, really. Footage of girls in pyjamas, that's about it.
I remember I once owned the first game that was rated MA-17 by the ESRB. Lethal Enforcers for the Sega Genesis. The language was noticeably toned down from the arcade version, but it was still a fun (if somewhat unfairly difficult at times) light gun game.
MA-17 was a VRC rating.
Sega started rating games on their systems a couple years before the ESRB came into existence.SabbraCadabra wrote:

I think you're actually talking about "Night Trap". It was a bit more fanservicey than a lot of games at the time, but afaik there was nothing in that game that you couldn't find in a PG-13 movie. Of course, at the time video games were thought of as a kid/nerd thing, so anything that even seemed somewhat "mature" was shocking to people.

The Night Stalker was a serial killer...I was even singing the Night Trap song in my head, and picturing those vampires getting caught in traps when I typed that
