8-bit, 16-bit, and arcade-era cursor packs hand-pixeled at native resolution. Perfect for emulator setups, MS-DOS revival projects, and CRT-curious desktops that still want a chunky two-color arrow.
Every pack listed below has been individually previewed and credited to its original artist. Click through to a pack page for the full set of cursor states (Normal Select, Link Select, Text, Busy, Precision, the four resize cursors, Move, Alternate, Help, Working In Background) plus a step-by-step install snippet for Windows 10 and 11. Pack pages also carry the full open license — typically CC0, CC-BY, CC-BY-SA, or OGA-BY — so you know exactly what attribution and redistribution rules apply if you bundle a pack into your own project.
If this is your first time installing a custom cursor on Windows, read the bottom of this page first — every Font Loft page ends with a quick install reference covering both Windows 10 and Windows 11 (including the new Mouse pointer size slider in 24H2). The two-minute version is: drop the unzipped pack into C:\Windows\Cursors\<pack-name>\, open Settings → Bluetooth & devices → Mouse → Additional mouse settings, switch to the Pointers tab, and use Browse to pick the matching .cur or .ani file for each cursor role. Click Save As… to lock the scheme in.
If you'd rather shop by visual style than use case, see the themed collections — every pack on the site is filed in exactly one theme. Or check the popular tag pages for high-traffic search queries like animated cursor Windows 11
