Insector X (Fan Translation)

The player controls an insect-sized warrior named "Kai" (named "Yanmer" in the arcade version), who takes on a vast army of cyborg insects to free the insect world from the dark ruler queen. The game uses two buttons: one for an upgradable main shot, and another for a seemingly random selection of secondary weapons.

NES port of the original Arcade game. This version in particular has a very interesting feature: the character selection is actually a difficulty selection, where the Boy means Normal and the Girl means Easy. I chose the boy obviously. This version was never released outside of Japan but I used a patch with translates the ending, because the original had it in Japanese.
