Crack

When an object is smashed apart, it is known to be "Cracked open". Or if there is a zigzag open part in a wall, the wall is known to have a crack on it. However a special type of "Crack" is a game crack.

Game Crack

Game cracks are used to get around a security block. These security blocks occur when you install a pirated version of a game and then the .Exe file leads you to an anonymous message (Usually "Please insert a CD into the CD rom") because most games require a cd to work. Game Images cannot run the game as they are not actually a cd from the cd rom. To get around this a crack is required.
