That's simply not true... I've run Silent Hunter 3 Purchased on gamersgate on Windows 7, and even Windows 8/8.1. The issue is the DRM used likely, the Tages DRM Gamersgate uses seems to work fine.

R-T-B I just found SH 3 on GamersGate for 89 SEK thats thats 8-9 euros or 12 USD. http://se.gamersgate.com/DD-SH3/silent-hunter-iii is it this SH 3 version that works for you, if its so I am ordering it right away

.

It says OS: Windows 2000 / XP(only) though.

Yep, that's the one. Let me know if it gives you any issues but provided you don't mind running at 1024x768 (I haven't tried high res mods) it seems to work fine. Copy protection is a pain if you have to reinstall more than once, but it works for the first (and in my experience, second) install flawlessly.

And yeah, they also say it will only run on a Radeon 9250 / Geforce 4 or something freaky. They are just using an old specs sheet.
