How to play MM8 on modern computers.

I figured it out: to get the game to run, you first need to launch it in Windows 98 compatibility mode, and the video mode should be set to Software 3D to watch the intro. After that, you can launch it in Hardware Accelerated 3D mode, and most likely, you'll need to repeat the process before each new intro, remembering to save beforehand. But unfortunately, in Hardware Accelerated 3D mode, the game starts to lag, which is quite funny considering the time difference between MM8 and Windows 7. So, my advice: create another partition on your hard drive that will serve specifically for playing MM8. You need to install Windows Millennium (2000) on it – I don't remember how much it weighs – and the game itself, which weighs 547 Mb (600). In general, the new partition on the hard drive should be approximately 1.2 Gb - 1.5 Gb, which is not a big deal these days. So, good luck. P.S.: I never managed to open that damn crystal in the center of Raven's Shore, and the time capsule either.
