Sega AM6 is an oddball in the Sega family, because during its run it sub-divided itself into smaller teams - [[Team Aquila]] which dealt with ''Victory Goal'' games, [[Team Andromeda]] which handled the ''Panzer Dragoon'' series, and [[G9 Team]], who simply produced ''[[Pro Yakyuu Greatest Nine '97]]''. It is assumed these team names only exist because Sega were not in the business of crediting their individual AM departments at the time (bar [[Sega AM2]] and [[Sonic Team]]).
