New screen size and playing MM8

    Hi guys!

    Can anyone tell me if MM8 is playable, on the new screen sizes, so that you can play using the ENTIRE full screen? For example, a 15.6 screen laptop. I have had this problem with a other games and I think someone would have to update MM8 or make a patch to fix this? Thank you!

Lots of laptop screens have this problem

    Every laptop I have ever used (8 or 9 of them since 1996) was limited in the resolutions it could display. The result is that some lower-resolution settings, like 800x600, will give you a small window with a huge black border. Try an external monitor if your resources and setup allows.

    ... a small playing area in the middle and a big black border around it. But it's an old, slow machine, just like the ones these games were designed for, and they run perfectly on it. All the peasants have names and trades (not just some of them!) and I even find the rare Easter Eggs on it. The only one it can't run is MM9.

    Hi Again Peter,

    I have not played MM8 or been to the tavern in ages. My real problem now is getting MM8 to work on Windows 7.

aspect ratio

    The actual issue that causes this is the aspect ratio for the new screen sizes and not the resolution. My real problem now seems to be getting the game to install and play using Windows 7.
