Look, I have a problem. I have spent way too much time on the web and now when I play a game I want everything interactive to make the cursor change to a 👆hand when I mouse over it.
Also, isn’t it way more fun when the cursor is 
stylish, and not a 
default Windows cursor?
But I have bad news, out of 219 games, so far only 26 change the cursor on hover. I am sad.

FAQ
Does this really matter?
No not really, but it really think it’s nicer Seriously though I meant this site in a positive way, let’s make games better. I figure everyone uses the web and has experience clicking on stuff so why not replicate that behaviour with mouse and keyboard?
I’m viewing this on a touch-screen. I don’t see a cursor
To replicate desktop behaviour, move your right hand over an interactive element, extend your index finger and stick your thumb out a bit. It should look like this: 👆
How did you choose which games to check?
I picked games I own. Feel free to submit your own.
What happens if a game gets a gold star?
Nothing.
If a game gets changed will you update it?
This has never happened so who knows!
