No plans to release it just yet as there's still lots of work to be done on it but right now it features all of the following all going on at once:

* split screen hi-color / hi-res mode
* interrupt driven AY music
* smooth[1] hi colour vertical pixel scrolling

[1] well it's as smooth as it can be.

Enjoy!

Very cool indeed, it's a shame nobody took the time to develop for the TS, it was quite a bit more powerful then the stock speccy

Very true, particularly when coupled with a disk drive. Trying to fit all 5 images for the Demo in 48K is a bit tricky (they take up 60K uncompressed). Unfortunately none of the Timex disk systems are currently emulated. On the other hand divIDE works with TS2068 so I may end up using that.

Very Cool, put more up when you get the chance.

Wonderful. It reminds me of the Amiga 500. Amazing to get that effect without all those custom chips the Amiga had.

Thanks to everyone for the positive feedback. Unfortunately I just can't seem to cram the whole thing into 48K right now. However, here's a slideshow of the rest of the graphics:
