How do I know if an old computer game will work on Windows 8?

Q. There's an old computer game I loved as a kid, and I want to see if I can track down a copy. I'm concerned that it might not work on my new Windows 8 computer though. How can I know if it will work or not? And if it won't work, is there any workaround to get it to work?

The game is called "Knights and Merchants."
If you know a good reliable place where I can find this game, that information would be helpful also.
Thank you! :)

A. You can try running it in Windows 95 or 98 compatibility mode. There's really no guarantee that it'll work though.

How do you select a graphics card for gaming in Windows 8 Consumer Preview?
Q. I want to play a computer game on my laptop running Windows 8 Consumer Preview, but it always comes out with the error "No graphics card detected that supports shaders; please wait for us to implement a shader fallback path." I believe that my laptop is not using the higher end graphics card to run this game, but I don't know how to make it do so on Windows 8. Any Ideas?

A. You could check the manufacturer of your graphic card's website, and try and download the latest, maybe beta driver for your card. I downloaded a beta driver from NVidia for my laptop, and games work great now on Windows 8.
