yes it can but there may be some compatability issues if so try this it worked for me. Follow the steps to install in Compatibility mode: a. Right click the set up file and select Properties then tap or click the Compatibility tab. b. Place a check in the Run this program in compatibility mode box. c. Tap or click the drop down box and select a previous Operating System, then tap or click OK.

Steam just released an extended edition which surely is compatible. I'm fairly certain this edition works on 8 but I can't say as I played it on 7

I have Windows 7. Can't tell you about 8. You do need to have the disk in the computer to run it.

I have mine loaded on my computer and play it that way. I do not know whether you can play it any other way.

I don'think you should have any problems,assuming you are familiar with windows 8.That was my problem,as it was for me being a total novice when organs to this new program.Good luck.

It is, but you'll have to do some workarounds with the graphics settings and its a "games for windows live" game. So you'll need a Microsoft account.

I bought this long before the release of Windows 8.1. (This was a gift for younger brother.) I don't want to assume that it's not compatible. Do you participate on any online forums that focus on these type of games? They would be better able to answer this question for you.

I haven't found any problems w/ playing this game on Windows 8, I have been playing for approx. one month.

I don't think so. You might still be able to buy a copy of 7, though considering 8's already 3 years old I wouldn't want to intentionally install 7 on anything (unless I already owned it or whatever).

Yes as long as you have the codes you should be able too my brother gave us his copy to use while it was on his desktop and he was in georgia but you need the disk in order for the game to run

I do not know. But the program is not very good on Windows8. There are times the game will not allow you to make a move and require you to loose your queen..Other times it just locks up.

No, I have not been able to get any of the games to work on Windows 8 at all. They download but you are unable to play them. I have tried re-installing the game with no luck. DO NOT BUY IF YOU HAVE WINDOWS 8

I don't know for sure, but I'll check. We gave the game to my mom since it was too hard and complicated for us, I'll find out from her. I would think that it should work with Windows 8 though.

Sorry to hear you're using Windows 8. Made the mistake of ordering a laptop with that OS and sent it back after a day of frustration with it. Can only suggest going to the website for the company that built this game to see if they can provide an answer. The age of the game would tend to be a detriment.

Sorry I bought this game as a gift for my brother. I asked him about it but he was not very good at explaining what it's about. He did say he liked it very much and that it works on Windows 8.

yes, according to the description and/or requirements, this game should play on either version of Windows.

That would probably depend more on Windows 8 backward compatibility than this specific computer. I have one on the way and will see if I can play an older game on it and let you know. I know that my husband and I have enjoyed games from the pre-XP days on Windows 7 but 8 is such a departure that it is hard to say. Different games may also react differently. I'll probably be able to answer your question late next week if no one else does before then. :)

I was not able to get it working on Windows 7. I had to install a virtual machine running Windows 95 in order to play.
