Xybots was the second game I added to my collection and I have slowly rebuilt it over the years. I finally got around to re-creating the Twist to Turn stickers that go on top of each joystick. If anyone finds these useful, please post here. It would give me a thrill to know that I was actually able to help a fellow Xybots owner and forum member.

I think it looks nice enough printed. I am curious how it matches up to an original sticker, I had to do this from memory. Keep in mind, it is only the size of a quarter when printed so it will correctly fit on top of the joystick. Glad to see some fellow Xybots owners out there!
 
The original is a little egg shaped when printed. I used excel to adjust it to .92 inches round for a perfect fit. If you print it on good paper w/ a good printer, it looks really good. My original (if it is an original) is a little different. Here's a not so great pic of it.

Nice work!

Although I think the instruction "Twist to Turn" is pretty funny. "Shoot to Fire"...

I found another Xybots sticker to compare it to, and your other one is original. Is it wrong to like what I did a little better? Ah well.
 
Bump for a thread that has helped a few Xybots owners over the years; a member messaged me for a copy of the file without the image host watermark, so this is my attempt at helping out. The original file, now attached!
