Tyco R/C: Assault with a Battery

(Redirected from Tyco RC: Assault with a Battery)

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,[2] 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.
