Appears to be authentic Magic Sword art on it, but such a creature I have never seen—nor can I find another one on the whole wide web. It's currently for sale on FBM in Leland, MS.IMG_4961.png
 
I don't think it was a huge hit but Xybots ate a lot of my tokens around 1990.
First person perspective. Walk around in a maze and shoot robots. You can buy upgrades between levels. Two player split screen. Did it have rotating joysticks? It must have. That alone probably makes it hard to bring back.
 
It was on a new level back then, very cutting edge at the time. One of the first or first arcade fps?
 
Ah. I didn't think Magic Sword had a dedicated cabinet. Another sneaky conversion. Thanks all!
 
Damn. Even I know XYBOTS. LOL :)
That would be a tough one to restore.

finding the joysticks will be really hard. I should have a pair of used ones in some random box. I swapped in nos ones into the one I had.. they would need to be rebuilt as when when I swapped them, they were loose. would take forever to find them..
