Normally the games which we download are free version that are illegal ... But we have to purchase the game inorder to play ... This crack is a software that replaces with the trial application file of game so that it confirms the we have purchased the game....

Generally it's a program or file created to bypass the system that the software developers set in place to confirm that you have purchased the product.
Most people crack to prove their computer skills, and as a hobby.
Sometimes due to the illicit nature of the files, there will be a virus or trojan within, to help spread malware.

crack is a program which you need to copy into the installation folder ,its purpose is to bypass the registration and activation process
lets say you have ab.exe file in crack folder and you install a software grit in c/programfiles/grit
you need to copy paste ab.exe in c/programfile/grit ,there will be a file ab.exe in grit folder . replace irt with the one you copy from crack folder and you will be fine

the crack is a file that you replace with when the game is installed to activate it without buying
it's like the key for the games just replace the origen file with it to make the game work

Probably what you have is an illegal free version of the game if you look it may be priced for sale on their website that's usually why they have cracks. Or it's to cheat your way through the game.
