Amusement Machine Research and Development Department #6 (第六AM研究開発部), commonly known as AM R&D #6 or AM6, was a research and development division within Sega. The division was created in 1990 when it spun off from Sega AM4 with the attraction-focused AM5.[1] It similarly specialized in development of one type of amusement machinery, medal games.[2]
Unlike AM4, AM6 developed both hardware and software, notable examples including Royal Ascot.[2] It would also collaborate with other AM divisions, such as AM3 on Bingo Party.[3] With the exception of a select few titles, most of AM6's produce remained largely exclusive to Japan, only seeing occasional exports under the overseas Sega Gaming division during the mid 1990s.[4]
In 1999, AM6 merged with AM4 to become Sega Mechatronics.[5]
