It wasn't so easy 20 years ago. Your computer barely could run Doom, let alone create a huge video file. Several games had a built-in walkaround: replays recordable to small files (sometimes confusingly called "demos"). Some games went further by packing in special editing mode, where you can change cameras, and with better playback control.

I've requested this group at MobyGames in order to research this feature. Flightsims were on my mind, but then I thought about Doom and Duke Nukem 3D, later Driver and so on. Can you help me with other titles?

Out of top of my head, I can think of two other: Umihara Kawase, a Japanese SNES game, and Team Fortress 2, which needs no introduction.

Umihara Kawase's sequels might have replay feature too, but I haven't checked those out.
