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.

Use DOSbox if you want to watch it the true way! It works on modern machines.
It's amazing, and a legend in the scene, but they weren't competing for the smallest size on this one. It was one of the biggest demos ever released at that point.
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.
I love the way-back machine!, I was never a member of the demo scene, but I knew how cool it was!
The stirring response to an outburst of uninformed foolishness was both well played and fair - it's completely senseless to criticize a video in such a childish manner!
*promote!!!

I have both Vol 1 (PC) and Vol 2 (Amiga).
Do yourself a favour and try the real thing!

And I'm glad that hoju got the caning he deserved for the inane comment.
But yes, a little silly watching a video of it.
