Future Crew's 1993 PC demo, routinely named one of the greatest ever made.
Released and awarded at Assembly '93, it crammed the entire effect catalogue of the day — 3D objects, plasma, rotozoom, tunnels — under a MOD soundtrack by Purple Motion and Skaven. That a single VGA PC could do all of it at once was, in effect, a technical manifesto.
The demo cemented Future Crew's reputation and became a reference point: when people say the PC scene "caught up" with the Amiga in the early 1990s, Second Reality is usually what they mean. The source was later released.
