Powerslave certainly qualifies, just like other Build engine games (dunno about TekWar though). I'm just not sure anyone ever used that feature except the developers

And somewhat surprisingly, you can do that in Rise of the Triad too:

Demos:
RECORD Record a demo (does not work in v1.0).
STOP Stop a demo (does not work in v1.0).
PLAY Play a demo (does not work in v1.0).
(from the official FAQ)

And, judging by the strings in the EXE of the demo version, this option is also available in Eradicator:
Quote:
-record .dem

-play c
Illegal demo playback file: <%s>
BTW: most games on the current list seem to be of the first-person perspective type - be it FPS or vehicle/aircraft simulators. However, self-running demo records that act as "attract mode" have been included in games of many other genres. This feature undoubtedly comes from arcade machines, but the option to record user-made demos was invented much later, and seems to have been limited somewhat to specific genres (ones that were more popular at the time, I guess).

Still, would be nice if games of other types (e.g. platformers) were found that also allow user-recorded demos
