Insector X
Don't get me wrong: I'm not giving this game 3 stars cuz it's bad, but because there are a lot of really good side scrolling flying shoot-em-up type games on Genesis. Anything Thunderforce and ESPECIALLY GAIARES. This game is still pretty neat. You're like some tiny humanoid insect mimicking warrior that flys around fighting bugs. There's five levels, each with a big boss at the end. There are parts that are difficult, I've only got to playing through it on normal. I really like the art for this game, like all the insects and backgrounds are real visually appealing. And like most of these types of games, you collect items to upgrade your guns and some of the weapons are pretty sick. There's adjustable lives, continues, and difficulty.
