Purple Motion - Second Reality (remastered) HD 

For PC, but vs the much weaker Amiga 500. Not that much.

Oh, we never will!

besides the music AMIGA -> Spaceballs - state of the art pwn this in wow factor.

Commodore Amiga and C64. RIP.

This and Doom release killed off the Amiga literally overnight. All the BBSes went down and came back up as PC. It was sad to see as the community the Amiga had never was realized on the PC. The sales of Gravis Ultrasounds went through the roof.

@Fernando He didn't earn ANYthing. Or he did earn NOthing. But not a mix of all that ;) Demo making was not about making money. It was about fame and the pure pleasure of spending a few intense hours/days of pure creation with passionate people.

@Fernando > didn't earn almost nothing What

@Fernando nothing but glory and fame.

​@@MichaelKrishtopa and becoming Legend

@Fernando-wz6no he went on to develop a sound card ,there's more

🤍

Same here and have to say that these guys did awesome code and Jonne Valtonen did Master piece song! 2024 and again playing this ❤

I were lucky to have lived the Amiga scene in 1980's ;)

​@@V3ntilator Amiga 500 ex-owner clocking in Sir 7. I'm getting all nostalgic and I keep on telling my step son (he is in his 30's by the way) that programmers are so slopy nowadays with all the Gigabytes and Megahertz and that "when I was a young man, starting out with an Aquarius computer that had 1Kb - which I upgraded to 4Kb) and that he is lucky and that I had never had it so good. I was grateful with what I had. With games taking 30 minutes to load from tape and the tape often getting chewed up in the tape player compared to practically instant loading games nowadays. I was grateful. And I hold no grudge!!!!!! Then I got an Amiga 500. With 4096 COLOURS!!!!! The Atari ST could only manage 512 Hahahaha. Deluxe Paint III - Tutankhamun! Damn it!!!!!!! The Demo Scene rocked !!!!!!!!!!

_Get down_ and _PANIC!_ are #2 and #3 then? The latter is from another Future Crew demo called PANIC! And in the original, all those sounds were in good sync. This video has sloppy timing: just compare 03:58 and ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rFv7mHTf0nA.html with the timing of the "swoooosh" sound (but the latter has some serious video issues . . . oh well)

ten seconds to transmission

Yup, I love Paula but I was right there with you. Love the Amiga but this is legendary

Amazing sound tracks!! WOW

For reference, _Second Reality_ is only a few months younger than _Desert Dream_ , one of the best Amiga demos ever. In 1993, the "CPU inflation", where we got twice the speed every year, had just started, and still if you compare the 3d power of DD and SR, the latter is drawing circles around the former. By now, we have a C64 and an Atari ST conversion of Second Reality - but the most interesting two targets are still missing. I'd really like to see a low-spec PC conversion (16-MHz 286?) and one for the Amiga 500. BTW, the file is called *2nd_PM.S3M* and still the top download of all time on many demomusic archives. VLC can play it, as well as "normal" MOD files and even SID files (C64).

It run on my 386 DX 40 MHz with Tseng VGA 1024 flawlessly. OK there where some lags in the 3D-part in the end (not shown here). My friend who was studying informatics alway bothered me also to buy an 486 DX. I never had one, the next CPU was AMD K7 with Geforce.

I learned about him from REturn to Wonderland. Plyed tens of thousands of hours of it as a kid. Makes me really happy to see people know who he is. He told me he had a fun time working on wonderland, too, so I'm glad he remembers too!

And Skaven (The composer for the intro & outro of this demo) was around 18 years old as far as I know (before his birthday)

Using shaders before they were cool! :D

smart!

true privilige, meet FC alive...

did he witness the actual projection of the demo in dolby surround, and with the cheers from the crowd and all? I would love to hear more about this.

@@purplefriction I know crew bring their own speakers (5.1 I believe) - this was very sophisticated at that time - no soundcard had more than 2-3 RCA outputs, even GUS

@@rafalkowalczyk5027 Yeah, I knew about that too, however I never managed to find a testimony from someone that actually witnessed this historical event live. I wish there was video footage of it.

@@purplefriction Yes i believe so. I would have to ask him though.

We were running a 486 DX2/66 with 8 Mb i think, and a SoundBlaster 16. We played this a lot. I just need to play 1 second and all of my nerdy game buds from back then will recognize it, and drop what they're doing and let it go on high volume. My borther had a ridiculous stereo for the time, i could hear him playing Dune 2 and blowing up tanks (especially the Harkonnen big ones) from about 300 feet down the road :P Our neighbours loved us, i am sure. Oh man, are we missing the bit where you fly through the city ? Ah ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XezcZVu66QI.html

@@gabiballetje Your neighours? I think you meant the entire neighbourhood :D Awesome! I ran it on a 386DX40 with 4MB, and I ran that demo a LOT!

@@BlackStarEOP All free standing houses, but yeah, about 300 feet away for sure.

I had a 486/DX4 8 MB and it ran smoothly on that as i vaguely recall. Great time. I miss scores from Gatekeeper. They have a little of Skaven here too :-D

@@LeedaDazahs So many great tracks from back then in the form of MODs and S3Ms! Skaven is legendary and I love Purple Motion and Prism as well. Been happy to find many of these old faves on RU-vid.

Do you know has anyone recorded it with Gravis Ultrasound so the rest of us can hear it as well ?

@@knyazhefilms2154 I dont know , soory :( but the song is GREAT¡¡¡

Best part, can't stop playing it over and over again.

This definitely can live on through Linux and does.

The video is an edit of multiple captures of the demo running on DosBox. I synced the mastered audio with the captured audio from the emulator but it may still be slightly out of sync because emulation sucks. And I also had to use various versions of Dropbox because some parts didn't run properly on some versions. The goal here is to share the mastered audio more than trying to kind of upscale the video :)

keep that shit

In addition the video is a capture of the demo running in DosBox and I adjusted the size and ratio of each scene for RU-vid so a lots of effects such as overscan didn’t make it.

@@LenweSaralonde No way it could; it's an artifact of the CRT display. No complaint intended! I was just going down amnesia lane, thinking of the good times. :)

eppogabber SR maybe but more classic demo tune masterings will come.

I'm guessing it was a simulation showcasing advanced programming skills.

It's the original song with original samples. Each track has been exported separately with Open MPT and mixed in FL Studio with some VST effects + mastering.

It's a quick and dirty capture of the demo running on DosBox. It would have been better to have a video capture of the demo running on the real hardware but I don't have any retro PC. The intention here is to showcase the music, not the demo part.

@@LenweSaralonde it's still better than the other video, which has severe re-encoding artifacts - worse than usual demo encoding artifacts - caused by RU-vid. On the other hand, I think you desynchronized the audio from the video.

This is not the whole demo, only the second song that I remastered. The demo visual is only there for show.

No, but maybe one day if I find the motivation for. I should post the few other remasters I made on RU-vid too

FL Studio

The focus here is on the audio. The demo part was more a placeholder than any attempt to "remaster" it.
