The March 2007 Roblox Client (0.3.368.0) is very fascinating, as it is the oldest client so far and is 4 months older than the last one, August 18, 2007 (0.3.488.0).

The studio interface is very different from the modern client, and it is very, very different from the modern client in terms of traits.  With the .exe file only being 5.07 MB, a lot of content has to be limited and restricted, so it uses separate .dll files to get it working.  It needs the Microsoft Visual Pack from 2005, and it has something called ControllerFlags.  Read more about ControllerFlags here: https://clientsearch.tumblr.com/post/169442434723/controllers-an-in-depth-examination

Multiplayer was very different in that era as well, and the client's FPS limit is 30 fps.  Sounds really bad for today's standards, but it was good at the time.

Roblox at the time used G3D for its graphics engine at the time, which was made by Morgan McGuire.

WARNING: This client contains many vulnerable insecurities, so I do not recommend hosting or joining a public server!  It is fine if you play with people you know, but stay alert!  YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
