Captain Comic 2: Fractured Reality

Michael A. Denio’s Captain Comic 2: Fractured Reality (1990) was an ambitious follow-up to an already quirky platformer. You play as a superhero who looks suspiciously like a budget comic book mascot, hopping across bizarre alien landscapes. The graphics scream “DOS era” in all their pixelated glory, while the level design swings wildly between clever and cruel. But that’s the charm: it’s a scrappy, homemade adventure that feels both awkward and endearing. If you squint hard enough, you might even forget how many times you fell into a pit that definitely wasn’t fair.
