My Idea for a SNES‑Style Point‑and‑Click Adventure
I’m developing a point‑and‑click adventure designed exactly the way it could have been made on the Super Nintendo back in the ’90s—but with a creative twist that makes it stand out.

A Unique Cursor: Flying Mario
In traditional point‑and‑click games, the cursor is just a simple arrow.
In my version, the cursor is actually Mario flying across the screen.

I use Mario’s flying sprite as the pointer.

I visually disguise him so he behaves like a real cursor.

This means the main character can’t die from clicking the wrong spot, because the cursor isn’t tied to the character’s position.

It’s a fun workaround that turns a technical limitation into a cool feature.

Static Screens Inspired by DUNE (1992)
I remembered the classic game DUNE (1992), which used static screens with transitions between scenes. That sparked the idea for my own structure.

My point‑and‑click games will use the same approach: fixed screens instead of scrolling.

Why this works so well:

Static screens allow for more detailed SNES‑style artwork.

The SNES hardware naturally fits this format.

It creates a more cinematic, story‑driven atmosphere.

What could be a limitation becomes a creative advantage.

A Retro Concept with a Fresh Identity
This project blends:

authentic SNES visuals

classic point‑and‑click mechanics

a character‑cursor hybrid

detailed, handcrafted static environments

It feels nostalgic, but with a twist that makes it completely my own.

Where This Idea Can Go
This concept opens up possibilities like:

intuitive interfaces built around the SNES controller

small but charming animations

simple, accessible gameplay

a world designed scene‑by‑scene, just like the classics

Hey @Tumbleweed , I just used your instructions on a 2GB CF card in an A600 and they worked first time.
Here's the details for anyone else trying to replicate and might have issues.

DH0: OS3.1,  non-bootable, FFS, 100MB
DH1: OS3.2.3, bootable, FFS, 100MB
DH2 and DH3: non-bootable, PFS\03, 800MB each. I used Quick Format and the HDInstTools that came with 3.2.3.
Mostly Stock A600: Has a 3.2 ROM and 8MB of Fast.

If your using 3.2, you should not have the any issues, regardless of sizes.
Latest FFS does not have drive size limitations, same goes for PFSAIO.

As a test, I booted off a 20GB boot partition, without issues. That was using both FFS and PFSAIO as seperate tests.

Your A600 is begging for a Pistorm 600, .

Thanks for the info. I'm buying it, I'll have the cable on Thursday 😃 After all, after connecting this cable to the USB A ports, all I have to do is install the FDD and close the Amiga 1200 case 😃
