Unreal ][ – The 2nd Reality (later known as 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; in 1999 Slashdot voted it one of the “Top 10 Hacks of All Time”.Its source code was released in GitHub repository into the public domain under a “unlicense” license on the 20th anniversary of release on 1 August 2013.
The demo has been remade on the C64 in 1997 by Smash Designs also ranking 1st in “the Party 1997”.
The latest incarnation of the demo was on the Atari ST in 2013 by Checkpoint and placed 1st in “Silly Venture 2013”
01:42 PC version (muted until 3:06)
18:18 C64 version
31:23 Atari ST version
Due to a copyright claim (which actually was dishonest by a Trance artist who was using Amiga sounds from 1993 in his 1997 track) I decided to mute bit of the intro on the PC version of the Demo. If it’s a little quiet in the beginning you can thank some bloody French Trance artist who is using sounds he rips from Amiga demos.
