Being a continually-updated game, RuneScape Classic has been through numerous iterations. Many different client versions can be found online, each requiring different data files and a different client-server protocol.
Here are some of the known client versions:

These are not to be confused with the RuneScape 2 versions, which follow a similar numbering scheme:
- r194 - RuneScape 2 beta (1 December 2003)
- r289 - Early version popular with private servers (January 23 2005)
- r317 - Early version popular with private servers (May 5th 2005)
The client is useless without the game data (maps, images, sounds, etc.).
Historically, the server would send these resources to the client, where they would be stored in the browser cache. These cache files contain Jagex Archives (.jag / .mem files), which have been analysed extensively by the community.
