Remember "RuneScape"? Every original version of the game is lost. But if you have any old computers or hard drives you played it on, you probably have a missing version

Hi all, you might have seen the previous thread about this. But since it's been a year we thought it was worth asking again.

RuneScape is a free browser MMORPG that became quite popular during the 2000s. Unfortunately the game's developers did not keep any full backups until 2012, except two copies from 2003 and 2007. Every other version of the game is missing.

However, if you ever played the game, even just once for a few minutes, the full files would be downloaded and saved on your computer. It would be great if people here would be willing to help search for copies of this lost game.

We've managed to recover quite a lot of old versions from people checking their computers in this way, but we still have almost nothing from 2005 or earlier.

We made an open source search tool here that will automatically find all the relevant files. However if you want to search manually yourself, the directory names were:

• C:\WINDOWS\.file_store_32
• C:\WINDOWS\.jagex_cache_32

To clarify, these files don't contain any personal/account details whatsoever, it's just the game's assets.

Thanks in advance!
