A horizontal shoot 'em up based on the insect kingdom. Though most versions of the game have a cute anime look, the Genesis version went a little grittier.
Insector-X is a shoot 'em up that features a man wearing a futuristic flying exosuit, fighting alien insects across a series of terrestrial landscapes. Originally released in the arcades by Taito in 1988, the game was ported to the Sega Genesis and the Nintendo Famicom in 1990.
The Sega Genesis version greatly reworked the graphics of the game, switching from the cute anime look Taito used to a more realistic set of sprites and backgrounds. The Famicom version, meanwhile, retained the look of the arcade version.
