	Sega Saturn (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Sega had then used technology from both their 2D and 3D arcade boards and dual CPU's for the system.
		The Saturn was unexpectly shown in America at the 1995 E3 in May. Sega said that they were planing to sell it for $399, and it was to be released on Spetember 2nd, Sony who was also there said that the Playstation was to be released latter in the year for $299.
		Sega then decided that they wanted the Saturn to be released first in America, so they changed the release date to sometime in the Summer in order to have a head start in America.

	Sega-AM2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sega Amusement Machine Research and Development Department 2 (popularly known as Sega-AM2 or simply AM2) was a research and development team for the video game company Sega.
		Of Sega's AM teams, AM2 was the best known and would become a major development house for Sega, first creating the late-eighties classics After Burner II, Out Run, and Space Harrier, all of which were monster successes.
		Following the release of OutRun 2, AM2 was absorbed into Sega (July 1, 2004).

		With 3 landmark AM2 titles (After Burner II, Space Harrier and OutRun) on one disc and in close-to-perfect arcade form, this is a must-own package for gamers and collectors alike.
		Another impressive aspect of the game as it appears on Sega Ages is the flawless nature of the translation, which allows for all the animations and details in the stages to appear in an uncompromised form which makes the translations released on the SMS seem anemic and weak in comparison.
		Space Harrier is another example of Sega AM2’s early brilliance, one of the earliest examples of the creativity and fun that Sega has become known for.

	The Next Level - Feature: Propeller Arena Retrospective
		Propeller Arena is known to many Sega fans as "the one that got away." Nearly completed by Sega AM2 for a Fall 2001 Dreamcast release, it was cancelled at the last moment in the wake of the September 11th tragedy.
		But Sega's embattled final system was already on its way out at the time, and the game ended up being shelved for good.
		Sega's fears that some players might re-inact the 9/11 tragedy online by deliberately crashing their planes into those buildings or staging hi-jackings at the airport may have had some merit.

	Virtua Racing
		So when SEGA announced that a home conversion would be coming to the Megadrive, everyone was shocked.
		SEGA had made a new cartridge shape, inside it was the new chip, the "SVP", or, to give it its full name, "SEGA Virtua Processor" This chip allowed 3D graphics to come to the Megadrive at a fast speed.
		The music that AM2 is famous for is very short here, and normally a short track plays whenever you pass a checkpoint or start a new lap.

		Sega's AM2 division has been responsible for bringing us more outstanding games than we can to count.
		If a game flashes the AM2 logo on the title screen you pretty much know it is going to be good.
		Despite the best efforts of Sega's marketing department to push the "girls in bikinis" angle, it is in actuality a very small part of the game.

	Kikizo Games: Features: SEGA-AM2 Virtua Fighter 5 Video Interview - Hiroshi Kataoka, Noriyuki Shimoda & Hiroshi Masui
		We sit down for a rare chat with AM2 president and Sega arcade boss, Hiroshi Kataoka, and his staff working on the monumentally awesome VF5 for arcades and PS3.
		It should come as no surprise to Sega followers that Virtua Fighter 5 is a title of such staggeringly high quality.
		As far as Sega Sammy bosses are concerned it's all worth it, because in Japan, where being a top VF player requires thousands of credits' investment, VF is the most profitable thing going.

	www.got-next.com // Virtua Fighter 2 PlayStation 2 Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		The Saturn version of Virtua Fighter 2 was a testament to the prowess that Sega's AM2 department had when it came to getting the most out of the somewhat feeble (for 3D anyway) system.
		While the graphics weren't up to snuff with the arcade version, and the gameplay was slightly different (some combos were easier), there's no doubt that the home port was an amazing achievement at a time when arcade to console ports were often poor in quality.
		Rumours have run rampant that AM2 was using an emulator for their port due to the loss of the raw data of the game.

		"Although the Sega of today is split into home and arcade divisions, just as it was during Virtua Fighter's era, development is borderless," Suzuki assures.

		For the 10th anniversary of the game, the 3D brawler enjoys a Sega Ages 2500 release which features the actual coin-op code, a gallery mode, and couple of new game modes for kicks and giggles.
