MegaZeux is a game creation system created by Andrew Pointon in 1994. MegaZeux is a platform for creating 2D games, similar to other game creation systems like RPG Maker. It allows users to create their own games using a simple programming language and a visual editor.

The system also includes a built-in game, which serves as an example of what can be created using the system. The game is based on a text-based adventure format, with a top-down view and simple graphics.

MegaZeux games can be run on a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, MacOS, and Amiga.

Installation

Wiimote (with nunchuck)
Wii Classic Controller
Gamecube Controller
Guitar Hero 3 extension controller

These are not supported:

Wii Balance Board.
