Xybots

Xybots is a 1987 third-person shooter video game developed and published by Atari Games for arcades. Players control "Major Rock Hardy" and "Captain Ace Gunn", who must travel through a three-dimensional maze and battle a series of robots known as the Xybots, whose mission is to destroy all mankind. The game features a split screen display showing the gameplay on the bottom half of the screen and information on player status and the current level on the top half. Designed by Ed Logg, it was originally conceived as a sequel to his previous title, Gauntlet. The game was well received, with reviewers lauding the game's various features, particularly the cooperative multiplayer aspect.
