Assault Rigs is a futuristic arena shooter developed by Psygnosis, released in 1996 for DOS, Sega Saturn, and PlayStation. Players pilot the Zam Cam Assault Rig through a series of cyber combat arenas set in a world where vehicular combat has become a competitive sport. Each arena presents a distinct layout featuring skyways, trenches, and pushblocks, populated by enemies intent on destroying the player's vehicle. The game frames its progression as a championship circuit, with the objective of conquering consecutive arenas to claim the title of World Net Champion. The emphasis is on arena-to-arena combat rather than exploration, with the hostile environment and enemy opposition serving as the primary obstacles. The setting draws on near-future aesthetics common to mid-1990s games, presenting combat as a spectator sport with no tolerance for second place.
