Spaceship Arcade Cursor Packs

Galaga, Defender, and R-Type-style targeting reticles in classic vector colors. Packs in this collection share a tightly limited palette, deliberately chunky pixel scale, and animation timing tuned for desktop comfort rather than maximum flash. Whether you are dressing up a streaming overlay, modernizing a retro-themed dev environment, or just want your cursor to match the wallpaper you have been running for six years, this collection has a pointer set for it.

Most packs in Spaceship Arcade ship the full set of system cursor states — pointer, hand, text I-beam, busy, working, link select, help, crosshair, precision, move, diagonal resize, and unavailable — at three sizes (32, 48, and 64 pixels). That means you get a coherent look across every UI state your OS exposes, which is the single thing that separates a “theme” from a “random arrow.” Hover a button, drag a window, wait for an installer — the cursor stays in character the whole time.

For installation, see the platform install guide. For licensing — and what you can use these cursors for on stream, in tutorials, or commercially — see the licensing primer. To go deeper into how these palettes were chosen historically, the retro palette guide walks through NES, Game Boy, PICO-8, and a few you have probably never heard of.
