I still watch them on Friday nights from http://pouet.net's top picks. They're not good as the 90s though like Future Crew's Second Reality.

Ha, the uncultured me never knew where that came from... I've just always known it from the uber brilliant PC Demo Second Reality

I can understand the "wow factor" if your reference is the Amiga - but really, there's nothing earth-shattering here. Nice, but...


It's hard to beat old demos like Second Reality.

The city flying reminds me of Second Reality's city.

I'm glad somebody else pointed out that there is no way this was a 64k demo.

Now, on the other hand we have Second Reality C64 which was a 1998 port of second reality to commodore 64.

This definitely was a turning point in my life. I was definitely considering sifting the c64 second reality, but I thought it would be too much of an inside joke. Similarly, somebody made Real Reality: a remake of Second Reality with props instead of computer generated imagery. It would have been much better with the original music. I really dislike their remake of the music.

it IS good, and it's 1993. YOU try making a demo including 8bit sound, 2d and 3d rendering, and contain it all in 64k. and in 1993. so i suppose yes, that is a funny thing, considering that things like this paved the way for future CGI.
maybe you should post something better.

Second Reality is a demo created by Future Crew for the Assembly '93 demoparty. In the PC demo competition, Second Reality placed first with its demonstration of 2D and 3D rendering. The demo was released to the public in October 1993. It is considered to be one of the best demos created during the early 1990s on the PC.
The effects produced by the demo exceeded what were widely believed to be the limits of PC hardware in 1993. Many techniques used by other demos, including Future Crew's own earlier work, were refined and reused in Second Reality. The demo had a soundtrack of Trance music composed by Skaven and Purple Motion using ScreamTracker 3. The degree of synchronization of the visuals with the music was highly impressive for its time.

Thanks for pointing to the Second Reality clip... so many memories... I LOVED that thing when it came out. Got me into the demo scene for a while.

I'm off to see if I can get a working version of it for XP

second reality was here and i missed it?!?!

repost! repost!

future crew is singlehandedly responsible (Purple Motion) for getting me into writing music.

I'm sad that Future Crew's Second Reality didn't get voted up on here.
