I still have to CD of this game from like 1998 but had trouble getting it to run. After installing many fixes and patches I got it to run without crushing but had to disable the music. But honestly the music is 50% of the game experience. I saw the game on here and thought I'd give it a try. I'm surprised to say that, but it works perfectly on Windows 8.1! The game of course is a classic that I loved back when it was released and it's still awesome today! By far my favorite of the Anno series.
