Ed Logg, the creator of Gauntlet originally planned to make a 3D Gauntlet game right after Gauntlet II. Designs changed and a new game was born. Xybots was the first 3RD person shooter. Although fairly primitive, it allowed players to navigate a semi 3D environment and rotate their perspective. Xybots also supported 2 player screen independent co-op multiplayer. Players could navigate the levels independently from one other with their own portion of the screen.
