Hamster's help files are in HLP format and designed for the old
WinHlp32.exe; this format has not been supported since Windows Vista, and
WinHlp32 versions don't run after Windows 8. See
<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917607> for more information.

There are current help files in German as part of the Hamster Classic Beta
releases, see <https://hamster-classic.de/download:download> (you can use
Gogle Translate or Deepl). I don't have a source for current help files in
other languages.
