'''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 1999, AM1 was renamed to '''Sega Software R&D Dept. #1'''.{{fileref|DCM_JP_19991119_1999-36.pdf|page=15}}{{fileref|DCM_JP_20000825_2000-28.pdf|page=93}}  In 2000, [[WOW Entertainment]] was spun off from the division.

Currently AM1 is the biggest arcade division within Sega, with its own internet presence as '''R&D1'''.
