Vertigo Screen ShotsIn many of the screen shots you can see the ordinary arrow cursor. This is not part of the game. It was a side-effect of the screenshots. A few of the screen shots show the true cursor, a small light blue cross (different from the central target which is much larger). The animated GIFs are fairly grainy. This is because animated GIFs (and all other GIFs) are limited to 256 colors. It is not a reflection of the quality of the game.
