Sega Amusement Machine Research and Development Department #1, (Sega AM R&D Dept. #1) was a division within Sega of Japan. It was formed in 1990 primarily to create arcade (or "amusement") games.

During its existence, this division was commonly referred to as Sega AM1, being the "first" of several R&D divisions within Sega's Japanese operations and was spun-off from R&D#1 which had existed prior. R&D#1 was specifically created in the eighties to develop arcade games. Many of the developers who made games moved into the AM3 department that formed in 1990.

Despite its initial intentions, found itself assisting with home console releases due to similarities between Sega Titan Video and Sega Saturn hardware (and later the NAOMI and Sega Dreamcast). This began with the release of Virtua Fighter Remix in 1995.

AM1 existed for most of the 1990s until May 1999 when it became Sega Software R&D Dept. 1, and later WOW Entertainment in 2000.[1][2]
