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)
Demo of KBD vs Vulgar Display of Power on Feb 23th, 2000 for the Teamplay ladder. POV = {KBD}Eric, light D (sorta, you'll see what I mean).
I submitted this because it has a few funny moments (at least for me). I was promised that I would get to play O during this match, but then z2 reformed, taking Disciple away, so I was put back on light D. As the map wears on, you'll see move ever closer to vdp's base :). But the r33t flag run I have is what cracks me up the most. Reminds me so much of the old days before skiing. Keep in mind that I was in a "chuckle" mood, where everything was funny that night (I think it was a side effect of EQ withdrawl).
