Don't listen to the idiots who tell you to use toothpaste or peanut butter. It's all false. Scratches are cuts in the disk cutting our certian information the computer needs in order to read it. Toothpaste is loving toothpaste, it does not repair disks. I recommend a disk repair kit, or perhaps just a new disk. The game is old. Old games can be cheaply bought.

If only CD's were as nigh-invincible these days as they where when they first came out.

It fills in the cracks and it reads it as blank data,

As long as the scratch doesn't do full lap around the disc, it should be readable.
