I'm a bit confused. Granted, I don't know a lot about "cracking" games, but
I thought the idea of cracking a game means to defeat it's copy protection
so you can copy it and play it on another site. As far as I know, both the
Shareware and the Registered version of Doom are not copy-protected, unless
I was playing with a cracked version... Does "cracking" in this context mean
something different?
