Introduce
**Xybots** (NES Proto) is an unreleased third-person action shooter prototype for the NES, based on the popular arcade game. Players control one of two commando robots – Baz or Slash – on a mission to infiltrate areas controlled by rogue robots.
The core gameplay of **Xybots** revolves around exploring intricate mazes displayed with "pseudo-3D" graphics, creating a sense of depth despite being an 8-bit system. The objective of each level is to find the exit by collecting keycards or unlocking special doors.
As you navigate, players will encounter numerous types of enemy robots. You can use various weapons, from basic laser guns to more powerful armaments. Collecting power-ups such as shields, speed boosts, or weapon upgrades is crucial for survival. Players can also pick up coins from defeated robots and use them to purchase equipment at shops scattered throughout the maze.
Despite being a prototype, **Xybots** clearly showcases gameplay that demands agility and good directional sense. The tension of exploring narrow corridors and facing unexpected enemies is a highlight of the game. This is a rare glimpse into an ambitious title that was never officially released on the NES.
