Here's what Draclvr had to say about Dracula Origin on Windows 8; this is from her Windows 8 games thread:
I could not get this game to install at all, even using compatibility mode - I suspect Windows 8 is blocking the Tages copy protection. However, Starcom got it to install and play using the NoCD fix. I'm going to double check it and hopefully this one can be added to the "plays" list. EDIT: Nope, didn't work for me. I cannot get the game to install at all. Starcom and I "seem" to have the same original 3 CD version, but it worked for him.
Having said that, Big Fish has Dracula Origin and the webpage for the game says that it supports Windows 8, although I haven't read about anyone verifying this. If it didn't work, I'm sure Big Fish would issue you a game credit for another game.
