How does a game function?

[abhi_10_20]

Many of my friends, including me,play lots of games, but never tend to
think what really happens behind, when a game is run i.e when
the .exe file is double clicked.

Please share your ideas by providing a brief description on how actually a game engine is started and run and generally, how does a game function?
