Assault Rigs is a vehicular combat game developed and published by Psygnosis for MS-DOS compatible operating systems and PlayStation. It was released a year later for the Sega Saturn in Japan. The game takes place in the future, where real sport has been overtaken in favour of virtual sport, the most popular of which is Assault Rigs, a tank simulator set inside a 3D virtual environment. THQ planned to release the Saturn version of the game in the US, but withdrew support for the system when its presence dwindled.
