Gregory Janson started developing MegaZEUX in 1994. It was originally an add-on to the shareware game Caverns of Zeux. In 1998 he dropped it and released all his work into the public domain. Other people continued to develop it under the GNU GPL.

Compared to ZZT, MegaZeux offers several improvements such as MOD music and the ability to edit the font and the palette, taking advantage of VGA features rarely used in ASCII games.
