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

No shame. Ultima Online is so great.
How about instead of that, a bastard sword
Should say “anything where anything turns into anything”!
Like a bloody skeleton hand? Or a burrito?
A little unicorn
A pointy nosed mouse

In Dungeon Keeper you could slap your minions with it
Same for the Black and White games!
Any custom, non-boring-ass arrow-shaped cursor really.
Though gauntlet ones are pretty sweet.
No pain, no gain.
Easier than completing Monkey Madness.
Related. But a sword.
What an amazing throwback! I’ll install this today when I get home
Thank you for posting
Slay the Princess comes to mind
Carmageddon had a glove with the severed hand still in it. Just saying.
Memories coming back…
Reminds me, NESticle NES emulator had the same kind of thing.
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
