Game Replay
A game replay, also known as a demo, is a form of user-generated content. In most instances, a game replay is a recording of a battle or race between opponents in a video game which can then be viewed by other players.

Some games, such as '' TrackMania'', '' Doom'', and '' N'', use size-efficient replay files that record inputs to get a 1:1 replay in lossless fidelity. It is most common in real-time strategy games like '' StarCraft'', '' Command & Conquer'', '' World in Conflict'', '' Company of Heroes'', and ''Age of Empires'', as well as some first-person shooter games such as '' Counter-Strike'' (via console command).
