Read off the filename, not decoded — (ogl-1999-08-31)-natural-ie_vs_tf-sh.rarWhoever recorded this named the file; the recording itself carries no date. Treat it as what a person typed, not as a fact the archive verified.

This plays the recording with the actual Tribes engine, compiled to WebAssembly — the same playDemo() path the game itself uses. The engine is about 7 MB; it then streams just the game data this recording touches from the archive, as it touches it. Every piece is cached and shared across the site, so a second demo on the same map costs almost nothing. Nothing is fetched until you press play.
