I play my roller coaster tycoon 2 on windows 8. Runs perfectly fine and isn't buggy. Just like when I was running it on windows 7!!

I know this isn't an answer but just wanted to say thank you for asking the question! I was about to ask the same thing and now I don't have to wait for a response! Excited to buy this now.

The RCT games are very forgiving if you have a higher operating system than the one(s) listed. I play RCT2 on Windows 8 and it's great! However, you might need to get used to the Error Trapper bugging you once in a while - it's nothing you haven't seen already if you've played RCT on a lower version of Windows.

Yes it does, I bought my windows 8 laptop within the year and am able to run this game fine.

I'm using windows 8.1 pro and the game performed very well no problems. I hope you enjoy the game as much as I did!! Hope this helps.

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.

I got it working on the windows 10 technical preview, it should definitely work on windows 8. Make sure you update the software from the Astrogaming website. Not much of a big deal though.

Yep. I am on windows 8. After having a few things solved I went though ok to almost the end, where I was not able to point my guy in the right direction to make a jump. :-) So I haven't played for a while, but I did enjoy it.

Yes, I just installed it on Windows 8.1 64-bit. Just remember to manually navigate to the installation directory to find the executables for your games, which you can create shortcuts for.

Easily, yes. I've run it on a windows XP, 7, and 8, and it has always run smoothly.

Yes. My friend played it on windows 8. If any problems arise, you can always right click the game and go to "properties" and find the ability to run the game as an ealier edition of windows. Also, check out aoe2 hd. You might prefer it. Good luck.

While I don't have Windows 8 on my own computer, my husband does and he uses this game nightly so can't see why you'd have any problems.

I am running Puzzle Master 4 on my Windows 8 PC with no problems. I would expect the same results from the Puzzle Master series.

I've played it on xp to 8.1 it's worked just fine. I have also played for a few years and still finding new things. Have fun !

Yes! But not all of the new Win8 functions work. Not a problem though. The game plays better on Win8 than the older platforms.

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.

Not sure if any game runs on Windows 8.1. The Bridge Baron came on a CD which I then downloaded, but thisis about 3 years ago and time and technology are changing. Good Luck

If you are getting the RCT2 original version it works ok but sometimes you will have to try multiple times to launch the game. If you order RCT2 Triple Thrill Pack, that works a lot better with windows 8 and rarely crashes. I have played this game since mid 2005, I have 2 copies of each version. Very satisfying and relaxing game. I recommend it MOST HIGHLY!!!!!

Yes, I can play it on Windows 8 with all the latest patches. If I remember correctly, tho', you need the origin libraries/app installed as well, but I could be wrong about that.
