MEKA was started in 1998 and first released on April 3rd 1999. In spite of its old age and very clunky technology, MEKA is among the most exhaustive Sega 8-bit emulator in term of coverage of obscure games and peripherals. It also provides competent debugging and reverse engineering tools. It is still maintained for those purposes but doesn't have much use for the average player. | MEKA was started in 1998 and first released on April 3rd 1999.

According to the emulator's official website, MEKA is dedicated to a game that is ''Monster World II'', or so called ''Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap'' in Western countries. Originally released on the Master System in 1989, the game was also adapted to the Game Gear in 1992. MEKA is the name of the first dragon you meet in the game and which gets you into that mess. Clearly, the passion the lead contributor of MEKA, Omar Cornut, has for the Wonder Boy series shone through. | According to the emulator's official website, MEKA is dedicated to a game that is ''Monster World II'', or so-called ''Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap'' in Western countries.
