Your late to the party YERZMYEY. If you go back 14 or so years most of the commercial stuff was cracks of a sort online for C16&Plus4.
Since then people have spent many, many man hours sorting things out so everything is as genuine as possible which has always been a priority. It's one of the things Plus4 World can be proud of as this doesn't happen with C64, Spectrum, Amstrad online software scene. 
Some of the better cracks have been kept for obvious reasons, rightly so and things like Liberator +5MD are a better way of doing things as it is much more professional and allows you to cheat the easy way by a press of a single key. The most important thing is that a crack is not to use the original name which Luca and Csabo have correctly done! 
But yeah some were so bad that they had to be redone and that's why many are not here any more. In fact some were that bad it did not help the guys working on emulators because sometimes things looked like it needed fixing with the emulator when really it was fault of a bad crack. Manic Miner comes to mind lol.
Originals have done the world of good to the scene and to end, Luca has spent ages sorting and adding cheats/pokes & sys codes to all games so your immortality is here already - you have to do it manually.
