That's strange. I was sure I posted a reply to Qualakon here. The pits of the internet must of devoured it! Here is the jist of what I wrote.
The DirectDraw wrapper posted by Qualakon allowed me to run both Diablo and Hellfire on Windows 8.1 with no problems. As the instructions state, you can open a new menu once in the game (e.g. town) with the Tilde Key. I think it defaults to running in a Window, and you can use ALT+Enter to switch at any time, but to change how it opens by default you want to set Windowed or Fullscreen in that new menu as it won't remember your current mode set by ALT+Enter.
Worked great and thank you very much Qualakon.
