This teeny-tiny article needs some work. You can help us by expanding it.


Sega Amusement Machine Research and Development Department #1, commonly known as Sega AM R&D #1 or Sega AM1, was a research and development division within Sega. The group operated under the AM1 name for much of the 1990s, primarily producing popular arcade games such as Dynamite Deka and The House of the Dead.

Unlike Sega AM2 and Sega AM3, AM1 did not produce any software for the Sega Saturn (bar some early Sega Titan Video ports), instead relying on other teams to port games to the console.
