Awesome music, and back then some of these scenes were jaw-dropping. The only serious contender of Second Reality in terms of impact.

I like their second demo very much! Technically..
Because 3d can still be boring sometimes..

Though,. there are some very interesting 2d fx too! The Fractal Zoomer! Very Innovative Coderswise demo from 1992!!! A stil very nice to watch Fractal Zoomer at 1992! Amazing! Just Amazing!!!

And the final Chess 3d part?! I consider this demo one of the most Technically Innovatest demos ever seen! Really!

Though,. I still enjoy much more to watch Second Reality than this..

Btw,. have you noticed the final Note at the end? Do you remember the C64 Note logic? Every C64 demo has a Note. It would be very cool that I would watch a "CPC,Amiga, Atari, Spectrum, Gameboy, PC, Mac, Linux, e.t.c.." demo and when the demo finsihed there would be a menu to read facts, comments, greets, e.t.c.. in a funky writer, scroller or menu!

Think about Final Notes on demos like this one! I think that Rage did a Note in Reanim8or demo too..
The logic of "Each Demo contains a Note" is very cool! I hope that I will have a Note in as most of my prods I can..

(I mean Note in electronical form, not as a txt file!)

First off, it's Crystal Dream 2, not Dreams.
Second, it's from 1993, not 1992.
I agree with your opinions, but get your facts straight first! :)

Uhh,.. sorry! I always confuse the date for this demo for some strange reasons..
added on the 2001-03-08 12:08:19 by Optimus Optimus
i like this one better than Second Reality if we are comparing'em here...
where the first demo of Crystal Dream series fail, this one compensates it completely! what a great show, and you're not bored till the end! Triton rocks (and thanks for the Fasttracker :)
added on the 2001-05-15 04:27:04 by raver raver
Agreed, this demo was really one of the best, and still is. In 1993, only Untitled/Dust and Second Reality/FC could match it, only none with regards to technology. Too bad it won't work on fast computers (TurboPascal bug...)

A kickass demo for its time. I still can remember how insanely impressed I was with that fractal zoomer that just kept on zooming and zooming.
And the 3D engine - also a great piece of code.
rulez added on the 2001-06-07 16:39:47 by Sdw Sdw
A really great demo, one of the best imho. Has been my favourite for a long time, and I still like it. Great music, well-written code =) Has a nice feeling overall and doesn't get boring because of the nice changes and design.

Overall, just wonderful.

Best demo of all time.
I have long help this production (and Triton in general) in extremely high regard.
Technically, this demo is amazing (runs smooth on a 386 40!)
And the music is great (like anything that LizardKing composes for)

This demo was one of my favorites in its day, competing very closely with second Reality, mostly because of the music. But hey, I had a 486-33, and if they bought a 486DX-50, why code for less? ;)

Some parts were a bit slow, but overall, a great demo, with very hi-tech code for its day, amazing music (still like it and listen to it from time to time) and cool raytraced graphics. Thumbs up!
rulez added on the 2001-11-07 11:27:56 by Jcl Jcl
Better then SR code- and design-wise.
Gotta give it a "rulez".

Beside 'Second Reality' one of the best PC demos in the early years and a 'must have'! To bad that it refuses to run on todays machines.

This was the second demo I've seen, 1st was Second Reality. But I like Crystal Dream more than SR, the checkerboard scene had been my favorite for a long time. Too bad there aren't any windows ports of SR and CD2

Fu**in' MEGA thumbs up for this one!
I remember when I saw this for the first time past in the days...it really BLASTED me away...
This is really one of the demos worth being mentioned on the same quality level as 'Second Reality'...

GREAT music (*sniff* no one does kinda funky music like this today anymore it seems!! :-( ), GREAT scenes...and fabulous design and style...

Hm, no one actually mentioned that this demo won The Computer Crossroads '93 to be exact.
And now i can run it again and so it will be definitly in my next demoshow, where ever I will have the next one :)
added on the 2002-04-17 05:24:16 by Crest Crest
Pure awesome classic! I love the music. Too bad my sound card and my motherboard can't make any DMA channel available. Got moslo132 prog to slow the CPU down; disabling L1 and L2 cache in BIOS will also work to prevent run-time error.

I will play "Trans Atlantic" nice and loud in my next LAN party! ;)
rulez added on the 2002-05-03 04:41:21 by Cesar Cesar
one of the best demos ever. excellent code, really really good music, all the elements of a killer-demo, even without the 3d-scene at the end. just a final "in your face!" to the people who tried to compete. hehe, that's the way we like it! (btw; the vectorslime is maybe my fav effect ever)
rulez added on the 2002-05-27 11:23:30 by gloom gloom
brilliant screenshot there!
and a brilliant demo of course. I think this was the first demo I saw, along with lunatic by extreme, which got 2nd at the same party (and fear/extreme complained in the pulse diskmag that the deadline was extended "just for triton"... lol)
both ran just fine on my 386sx/16. sweet nostalgia =)

One of the first mature demos on PC ever.
And a true classic ofcourse!

No more comments on CD2? What a shame. This was after all one of the most "quoted" demos in the early and mid 90's... This and Second Reality, that is :). If you have a DOS box, be sure to watch it.

The first demo I saw.. I got in on the GUS CD I borrowed from a friend (must've been 1994 or something like that). I remember thinking something like "where's the game in this game demo?" :) After I'd read all the stuff found on the menu, I watched it again. And for a third time. And then I was hooked, probably for life :/

It was yesterday while implementing Mandelbrot set fractals with pixel shader’s that it suddenly strokes me: I know this part of the fractal - there was another important quite early PC demo that contains it – Cry…, Crys … yes! Crystal Dream 2! There were so many technically details right at the edge of what was possible the hardware of these days – and I loved the chess game at the end. Mega thumb up!

I remember the moment this demo came up on the big screen at the TCC party 1993. After a few effects the whole party place was in a shocked state. It was totally quiet, everyone was holding his breath. I realised this was even bigger than my own (and Booze Design's) breakthrough in the c64-scene ;).

Those were the days :).

The music makes me come with oldskool delight and it has one of the best early 90's 3D animations ever.

Notice the "Dream" in the title--and how it challenges Second "Reality"? Easter egg or coincidence?

Love this demo. Second Reality had better design (and that awesome translucent icosahedron) but the 3D here is overall more impressive, and I'll never forget the 'mothership' part.

this is the first demo i ever watched, and it fuckin blew me away. i was casually coding, also fractal stuff and plasma (pretty bad), and a chessplayer. it ran on a 386 DX-40, and did things i didnt think were possible. right after their plasma put mine to shame, the fractal zoom fucked my right in the brains. so here, have my ♥ you totally deserve it.
rulezcdc added on the 2014-05-11 01:47:18 by HellMood HellMood
It never really got the love that Second Reality got. Some scenes just go on too long with the 3d show. Except for the chess scene and the zoomer there's really not much you remember of the demo.

CD was an inspiration from very early on. VINT stars that look amazing; planar mode for extra speed using VGA color registers to hide that fact; electro-shoegazer music in the first act. I love this demo more than I can articulate.

This was the frist PC-demo I saw that made a huge impression on me! One fun thing was that I was impressed by the superior sound from the PC compared to my old Amiga - and years later find out that the tune "Desert dawn" in the demo was a regular Amiga mod.
