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.

This demo was recorded on 12/21/99 in my point of view Tsunami vs. Abusive. It was a good game, so I decided to release the demo. 
It's slow at first, but picks up.  You can see my crap job of flag sitting in this demo =)
