Select a unit and they shout out “MY LORD!” or something.
- One of the things no one thinks about: the name of the paladin order in Warcraft II was the Knights of the Silver Hand. They were literally worshiping the cursor.
- Zug zug

In Dungeon Keeper you could slap your minions with it
- Same for the Black and White games!

I CANT WAIT FOR EU5 EU5 NOW NOW NOW NOW I WANT TO BE HYPER AUTISTIC ABOUT CREATING NEW REALMS I WANT TO MAKE A GREAT MOLDOVIAN STATE

Any custom, non-boring-ass arrow-shaped cursor really.
Though gauntlet ones are pretty sweet.
- No pain, no gain.
  
  Easier than completing Monkey Madness.

- Loooved Dungeon Keeper back in the day.
  
  me too, which is why it had to be ruined by EA. if not them Ubisoft usually finds a way to do it.

Slay the Princess comes to mind

Honorable mention: The MapleStory white glove cursor.

Knights and Merchants!!

Carmageddon had a glove with the severed hand still in it. Just saying.
- Reminds me, NESticle NES emulator had the same kind of thing.
- Memories coming back...

I instantly recognized UO and am ashamed.
- ooOOoooOooOo
- No shame. Ultima Online is so great.

Witcher 1. One of my all time favorites!
- Extremely underrated game, even after it received popular sequels. I’m shocked nobody talks about the original Witcher game. I played it way after it was released in around 2017 and found it refreshing, like a slightly more modern classic RPG with actual classic game design, plus a few quirks (combat stances and so on).
  The enhanced edition looks perfectly fine. I think I’ve hit the stage in my life where I care more about graphics looking cohesive and how the art style serves the game’s vibe than I care about garish post-processing and needlessly complex models and textures.
  TW1, visually, has a sort of dreamy fantastical blandness with bursts of really cool visual interest. Isn’t that enough? Doesn’t that serve the concept of a video game well?
  
  I very much feel you brotha. One of the main things why me and my friends is that the Witcher 1 is one of few classics that have Czech dub. The catch is that it is a horrendously bad one for like 99% of the cast (I don't know what were voice actors smoking during recording). Me and my friends always laugh for at least 80% of the dialog in the game. It's absolutely amazing. Also same thing with Gothic 1 for english dub xD

I recognize a few of these from Ultima :D
MIDI composition of Stones intensifies

Related. But a sword.
- What an amazing throwback! I'll install this today when I get home
  Thank you for posting

How about instead of that, a bastard sword
- Should say "anything where anything turns into anything"!
  
  Like a bloody skeleton hand? Or a burrito?

The pure nostalgia I just got 😌
