Battlefield 1942 for Windows 8?
I just spent some time chatting with support trying to get BF1942 to run on Windows 8.1 Professional 64 Bit. Alas, they were unable to provide an answer after trying a few things. Will EA be working ...

I got it to launch but can't get PB checked to join servers.
Still working on the PB part. Will post update if I get that part figured out.
The instructions we put together for getting an Origin-based Battlefield 1942 game client connected to the EA117 server (which requires PunkBuster) should help, regardless of which server you intend to connect to: HOW TO: Use an Origin-downloaded Battlefield 1942 game to play on the EA117 server
Indeed, the Origin-based Battlefield 1942 game doesn't come with a PunkBuster install like the 1.6 patch for the CD-based Battlefield 1942 game did. But how exactly you add PunkBuster support to your Origin-based Battlefield 1942 installation can depend upon whether you do already have PunkBuster due to some other Origin- or non-Origin-downloaded game, versus whether your desire to have PunkBuster support for the Origin-based Battlefield 1942 game is actually the first or only game you have that needs PunkBuster.
