I used to have a PC game that had a crack in the disk that still worked for some reason. It was super glitchy after it got cracked, but it did work amazingly.

The most messed up ones I have are my PS1 and PS2.
The PS1 really isn't all that messed up, the Open button just likes to stick. The PS2 was dirty as hell when I got it, but a quick wipedown and blowing out the insides cleaned it up pretty quick.

I once bought a Sega CD from a guy off of these forums and the spindle somehow came off and wasn't in the box, nor at the guy's house. So I played my burns of Sonic CD, Snatcher, and Lunar: Eternal Blue by putting small quantities of chewed gun on the rotating platform on the inside of the lid to keep the disk in place. They worked perfectly but... y'know.

If you've for a dead PC CD drive, you might find a replacement disk with the magnet in one that would work. Or even just a ring shaped magnet that will fit over the center spindle.
