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:
“See how peaceful it is here. The sea is everything. An immense reservoir of nature where I roam at will.... Think of it. On the surface there is hunger and fear. Men still exercise unjust laws. They fight, tear one another to pieces. A mere few feet beneath the waves their reign ceases, their evil drowns. Here on the ocean floor is the only independence. Here I am free.”
—Earl Felton, and Richard Fleischer. Captain Nemo (James Mason)
“The comic spirit is given to us in order that we may analyze, weigh, and clarify things in us which nettle us, or which we are outgrowing, or trying to reshape.”
—Thornton Wilder (1897–1975)
“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)
“Being a Jew, one learns to believe in the reality of cruelty and one learns to recognize indifference to human suffering as a fact.”
—Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946)
