description Xybots Overview

Xybots is a third-person shooter arcade game developed and published by Atari Games in 1987. Designed by Ed Logg, whose earlier credits include Asteroids and Centipede, the game tasks one or two players with navigating a series of rotating, maze-like corridors viewed from behind the player character. Players combat robotic enemies using laser weapons while seeking to rescue prisoners across successive levels. Xybots introduced an innovative rotational control scheme using a joystick that could be twisted to turn the character in any direction, a mechanic that anticipated later 3D movement systems.
