Tyco R/C: Assault With a Battery is a PlayStation game that shipped in September 2000. The game was based on the Tyco Toys R/C brand radio-controlled cars and features, and hence has titles from real R/C cars by Tyco. The game was developed by Lucky Chicken Games and published by Mattel Interactive. It received some acclaim from online game review sources, but was lost at retail during Mattel's exit of the Video Games business as a result of their failed acquisition of The Learning Company.
The name of the game is a play on words of two types of crimes, Assault and Battery.
