Consider whether you would hack a DVD of the film Gladiator so that Russell Crowe was relocated from Rome to, say, a Wal-Mart parking lot in Missoula, Montana. Perhaps substitute pickup trucks for chariots, grizzly bears for lions. Turn the emperor into Osama bin Laden―maybe with no clothes. You might not, but someone would. This is certain because, when it comes to the intricate worlds created for PC-based games, someone does. The difference between games and movies, of course, is that PC games are code worlds, hackable. By cracking and changing the code, players can alter weapons, characters, and, sometimes, entire worlds. They have, famously, inserted Barney into a Nazi shoot-em-up, then gleefully distributed the hacked version on the Internet. They have recreated a scene from The Matrix and inserted it into a hit 2001 adventure game called Max Payne, an action-shooter set in noir-ish New York. More ambitiously, one bunch of hackers is currently busy remaking the entirety of Max Payne into a flighty fantasy-world homage to a novel by cult author Terry Pratchett.

机译：考虑一下您是否会破解电影《角斗士》的DVD，以便拉塞尔·克劳从罗马搬到蒙大拿州米苏拉的沃尔玛停车场。也许用皮卡车代替战车，用灰熊代替狮子。将皇帝变成乌萨马·本·拉登（Usama bin Laden）-也许没有衣服。您可能不会，但是有人会。这是肯定的，因为当涉及到为基于PC的游戏创建的复杂世界时，有人会这么做。当然，游戏和电影之间的区别在于PC游戏是可破解的代码世界。通过破解和更改代码，玩家可以更改武器，角色，有时甚至是整个世界。著名的是，他们将Barney插入了纳粹枪击案，然后在互联网上高兴地分发了被黑客入侵的版本。他们从《黑客帝国》中重新创建了一个场景，并将其插入了2001年热门的冒险游戏《 Max Payne》中，该游戏是一部位于纽约黑色场景中的动作射击游戏。更雄心勃勃的是，一群黑客目前正忙于将Max Payne的整体重塑成对幻想作家Terry Pratchett的小说的虚幻幻想世界的敬意。
