Captain Comic II: Fractured Reality is the 1990 sequel to the 1988 classic DOS platform game, The Adventures of Captain Comic. The game was created by the same author as the original, Michael Denio, working at Color Dreams and was published by ComputerEasy.
The game was not as successful as its predecessor, despite containing numerous improvements and new features:
- Save/continue-game feature
- Hundreds of objects to discover
- Multiple hidden rooms and bonus objects
- Four-way scrolling playfield with more color and graphics
- Many new tools for Comic to use
- Non-player characters to interact with
- A much more involved storyline
- The ability to swim, fly, ride a mine car and a sled
- The game is also reportedly three times the size of the original
Unlike the original (which was shareware), the game was sold commercially, which explains its lesser popularity. However, more recently it has been made available free.

Famous quotes containing the words captain, comic, fractured and/or reality:
“I do not believe in erecting statues to those who still live in our hearts, whose bones have not yet crumbled in the earth around us, but I would rather see the statue of Captain Brown in the Massachusetts State-House yard than that of any other man whom I know. I rejoice that I live in this age, that I am his contemporary.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“There is only one vice, which may be found in life with as strong features, and as high a colouring as needs be employed by any satyrist or comic poet; and that is AVARICE.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“I brush my hair,
waiting in the pain machine for my bones to get hard,
for the soft, soft bones that were laid apart
and were screwed together. They will knit.
And the other corpse, the fractured heart,
I feed it piecemeal, little chalice. I’m good to it.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“The word “Christianity” is already a misunderstanding—in reality there has been only one Christian, and he died on the Cross.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
