Sega CS2
From Sega Retro
Sega Consumer Research and Development 2 (Sega CS2) was a video game research and development division within Sega. It was founded in the mid 80's when Sega decided to grow their home console development, and establish CS divisions similar to their AM divisions. It was involed with ports from the arcade mostly from Sega AM1. However it has developed popular original projects in particular the Alex Kidd games, Phantasy Star games, Streets of Rage, Super Shinobi series and Ristar. During the Sega CD, 32X and Saturn era, it has mostly developed orginal games, with no association with arcade titles.
Sega CS2 was officially founded in April 1996 and headed by Noriyoshi Oba.[1][2] In 1999 the division renamed Sega Software R&D Dept. #7.[1][2]. In 2000 it became Overworks. The current CS2 operates as the Sonic Team.
The team went under the name Illusion Shot Pictures.[3] when developing the Disney licensed titles. Team Aquilla was a name adopted for the Clockwork Knights games
