Low Caliber Arena screenshots, 2003
In-game screenshots from Peter Danenberg’s development machine, from the time he ran Low Caliber Arena, his server for the game Rune, and wrote RAK, its server mod: the Arena with the club blazon, RAK’s scoreboards and stat wall, other servers’ maps, and Rune Chess. 128 of the 129 shots Rune saved (Shot0000–Shot0128, 640×480, converted losslessly from BMP to PNG), then the art for the HUD, the stat wall and the mods (44 pictures). Click a picture for the full-size image.
The shots carry no dates of their own. Rune numbers its screenshots in order; the scoreboards name the RAK build the server was running (rak030622 is 22 June 2003), and the stat wall shows the date of its rankings. Both agree with the numbering, so each shot is dated by its own evidence or its neighbours’. Shot0030 (all black) is left out. The club’s own gallery, the menu’s “Gallery”, was on another host and was never archived; this one was made in 2026.
After the 2003 shots and art: 2026: the Arena revisited, 24 shots of the Arena map as rebuilt in 2026.
Scoreboards show rak030328b, the RAK build of 28 March 2003; the next shots show 21 June’s.

Peter’s HUD and stat-wall art, the phallic power-up icon and the Roman reliefs it was drawn from, and the nakedWife skin, converted losslessly to PNG from the BMP and PCX originals. Dates are in the file names (YYMMDD); the undated PCX files are among the six packed into the texture package LCTxt030205 (5 February 2003), and the rainbows and the relief cut-out are from the folder 030621Special, which LCTxt030621 was built from.

Twenty-four shots of DM-LCArena261104, the Low Caliber Arena map as it was rebuilt in 2026 (HD textures, a cubemap sky, a day–night cycle and lightning), taken on 7 November 2026: 1920×1200, HUD off, no player or weapon in view, the time of day pinned and each strike frozen at its peak. Click a picture for the full-size image.
 Rose-fingered dawn over the great ring, looking north to the fjord and the pines |  First light on the far ridge, from the great ring’s west rim |  Dawn behind the pines, the pit lights still burning along the wall |  The carved spiral frieze in the first light |
 The Lacedæmonian boxing ring at dawn, the feast-hall torches through the arch |
 The great ring by day, low cloud in the fjord below the mountains |  Afternoon over the great ring, framed by the pines |  The north ring’s flagstones and the snow peaks beyond |  The great ring from the west rim, sunlit ridge and sea of cloud |
 The Lacedæmonian boxing ring, torchlight spilling from the feast hall |  The boxing ring from the south, its stepped wall and the open sky |  Looking west from the feast-hall door, a crest above the far arch |
 The spiral frieze under the pines |  The spiral frieze, square on, on the great ring’s west wall |
 The war banner, “De Petit Calibre”, in the hub |  The war banner by night |
 Torchlit night: the feast hall’s ledge and its platters |  The boxing ring by torchlight under a night sky |  The magic-mushroom grove glowing green on the great ring’s ledge |  The mushroom grove, closer |
 The luminescent pits along the foot of the north ring’s wall |
 A strike at its peak: the northern sky flares under the storm |  A northern strike over the north ring |  A strike in the east lights the hillside on that side only |
