I ran the Rune demo here, under 8.0 and 8.1 for quite awhile before I bought
the full game (and Halls of Valhalla upgrade). Ran just fine, but you have to
use the Loki installer software with it.
Now mind you, thats on my machine with a Geforce 2 video card. On my 11 year
old's machine with a Voodoo 3000 card, it plays the sound perfectly, but we
get no video... so it might be picky about video cards.
Hope this helps!
