Insector X (インセクターX) is a side-scrolling shooter developed by Sage's Creation and published by HOT-B in Japan and Taito in the US for the Sega Mega Drive and NES. The Mega Drive version differs significantly from the initial NES release with revamped graphics and audio and a generally more serious tone compared to the NES version's more light-hearted and manga-like style. After the initial releases, the game was later re-released as part of Taito Legends 2, a compilation pack for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and PC.

The game has the insect-like main character, Kai, going through a number of nature-based and cave environments. The player can collect a variety of powerups and weapon upgrades to defeat oncoming enemies and bosses.

The plot is fairly simplistic and ultimately involves defeating the dark ruler queen, freeing the insect world from her power.
