{{sub-stub}}'''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]]''.
+
'''Sega Amusement Machine Research and Development Department 1''', or '''Sega AM1''' is the first arcade division within Sega. It was first called '''Team Shinobi''' as a team within [[Sega]]. The team is not visibly credited as such in their own games, but are credited as the original arcade developers of ''Altered Beast'' and ''Golden Axe'' in those games's [[Mega Drive]] ports (which were handled by another team within Sega). Some arcade games do say TEAM SHINOBI in messages hidden in the ROM, however.  
  
−
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.
+
Team Shinobi became [[Sega AM1]] at some point during the early 1990s. It mostly contributed to Sega's arcade line-up on their various arcade system boards, with the studio only gaining momentum with home console development with the Dreamcast. In 2000, [[WOW Entertainment]] was spun off from AM1.

After the intergration back into Sega as AM1, the studio released the successfull ''[[Sangokushi Taisen]]'', probably the studios most successfull arcade game. With dissolvence of [[AM3]], AM1 gained several hit franchises and development assets from AM3, such as the ''WCCF'' franchise. Currently AM1 is the biggest arcade division within Sega, with it's own internet presence as '''R&D1'''.

Sega Amusement Machine Research and Development Department 1, or Sega AM1 is the first arcade division within Sega. It was first called Team Shinobi as a team within Sega. The team is not visibly credited as such in their own games, but are credited as the original arcade developers of Altered Beast and Golden Axe in those games's Mega Drive ports (which were handled by another team within Sega). Some arcade games do say TEAM SHINOBI in messages hidden in the ROM, however.

Team Shinobi became Sega AM1 at some point during the early 1990s. It mostly contributed to Sega's arcade line-up on their various arcade system boards, with the studio only gaining momentum with home console development with the Dreamcast. In 2000, WOW Entertainment was spun off from AM1.

After the intergration back into Sega as AM1, the studio released the successfull Sangokushi Taisen, probably the studios most successfull arcade game. With dissolvence of AM3, AM1 gained several hit franchises and development assets from AM3, such as the WCCF franchise. Currently AM1 is the biggest arcade division within Sega, with it's own internet presence as R&D1.
