 240px|right sega amusement machine research and development department 2 (popularly known as sega am2 or simply am2) is a research and development team for the video game company sega. originally known as "sega amusement developing section 8", am2 was previously headed up by famed designer yu suzuki. 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, outrun, and space harrier, all of which were monster successes. later am2 would go on to create the virtua fighter and shenmue series as well as daytona usa. following the release of outrun 2, am2 was absorbed into sega (july 1, 2004). unlike most of the other old am departments, it remains a separate division within sega. the only games that have used the am2 logo since were after burner climax, r-tuned : ultimate street racing and the virtua fighter series. ==list of games developed==  ; arcade * 18 wheeler: american pro trucker * after burner * after burner climax * beach spikers * border break * daytona usa * desert tank * dynamite dÃ¼x * f1 exhaust note * ferrari f355 challenge * fighting vipers * fighting vipers 2 * g-loc: air battle * ghost squad * gunblade special air assault force ny * operation g.h.o.s.t * gp rider * hang-on * the king of route 66 * outrun * outrun 2 * outtrigger * power drift * quest of d * r-tuned : ultimate street racing * rad mobile * sega race tv * sonic the fighters (a.k.a. sonic championship) * space harrier * shining force cross * strike fighter * super hang-on * turbo outrun * psy-phi * virtua cop * virtua cop 2 * virtua cop 3 * virtua fighter * virtua fighter 2 * virtua fighter kids * virtua fighter 3 * virtua fighter 4 * virtua fighter 5 * virtua formula * virtua racing * virtua striker ; sega mega drive/genesis * sword of vermilion (a.k.a. vermilion in japan) * virtua racing  ; sega saturn * daytona usa * digital dance mix * fighters megamix * fighting vipers * virtua cop * virtua cop 2 * virtua fighter * virtua fighter 2 * virtua fighter cg portrait series * [[v
