    It's got some smooth and color graphics and while we don't get to hear the delightful 1-bit speaker of the Apple IIe, the Mockingboard is much gentler on the ears in this nicely synthesized multi-part song which appears to be custom-composed by mA2E just for this demo.

    From the description:

    2023 edition of my annual Christmas Demo tradition. Recorded on real Apple IIe with Mockingboard card.

    by Desire, code by Deater, Music by mA2E

    There's some vapor-lock / vblank detection/ non-typical mid-screen mode switches happening here.
