History
Unreal was created for the first Assembly demo party, held in Kauniainen, Finland in July 1992. Because the organizers were unable to hook up a PC to their projector, it had to be shown on a TV screen. It won first place in the PC demo competition, defeating Overload by Hysteria. The demo was released to the public in August.
In December 1993, version 1.1 of the demo was released, which added Gravis Ultrasound support and fixed various bugs.
In January 2003, Unreal was captured to video for the MindCandy Volume 1: PC Demos DVD.
