With all the nice options for retro verbs, retro fonts and classic sentence, how about an option to use a simple non-changing crosshair? Without the additional indicators when hovering about an exit or an object. Monkey Island style, or maybe even the big ugly one from PC Zak / MM, hehe.

You can do this by adding this…

`hotspotCursors: 0`

…to the Prefs.json file.

What would tickle my nostalgiabone even more than that would be the cursor turning into the snail symbol once in a while, though due to the practically non existant loading times between rooms, I can´t think of a way where this would happen.

You can pause the game (SPACE) and admire the snail icon all you want! 🙂

This is my mind.  
This is my mind blown!

That´s nice, I always used the options screen for pause, never noticed that there is classic pause option, too.
