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:
“Adolescents have the right to be themselves. The fact that you were the belle of the ball, the captain of the lacrosse team, the president of your senior class, Phi Beta Kappa, or a political activist doesn’t mean that your teenager will be or should be the same....Likewise, the fact that you were a wallflower, uncoordinated, and a C student shouldn’t mean that you push your child to be everything you were not.”
—Laurence Steinberg (20th century)
“Commercial jazz, soap opera, pulp fiction, comic strips, the movies set the images, mannerisms, standards, and aims of the urban masses. In one way or another, everyone is equal before these cultural machines; like technology itself, the mass media are nearly universal in their incidence and appeal. They are a kind of common denominator, a kind of scheme for pre-scheduled, mass emotions.”
—C. Wright Mills (1916–62)
“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)
“Virtue cannot separate itself from reality without becoming a principle of evil.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
