Watch it

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.

Readme — readme.txt (from the archive itself)
These demos are from the OGL match KBD vs FSC on December 6th, 1999. Taken from the POV of Eric, a light D.
One thing, {KBD}Mr.Snatch says about half way through the IR demo "They are pretty good for pubbies", 
this represents his egotistical opinion, not anyone else's. 
I personally despise comments like that... a lot. 
Of course, even getting that comment out Mr.Snatch is a sign of skill, considering that he thinks he's God. :D 
I know the rest of KBD likes FSC a lot, considering that they helped us out a few weeks earlier in a scrim 
on Stonehenge, to help us get our act together on that map (they won btw).
With their help on SH, we beat NC on a map where we had lost to NC the previous time. 
Many thanks FSC, and good games. 
/me bows down before Rayn, god of Demos.
Rayn, if you come up with an idiot filter for demos, I'd love to have one :) remove all the stupid comments
some of my teammates make.
