'''''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.
