I want to find the name of a certain old graphic adventure Mac game. I've played it very briefly in 1990 on Mac IIfx (could be IIcx) -- that gives pretty good time reference. My recollection is very fuzzy but here it is. The game was essentially an illustrated fantasy(?) text adventure but all actions were entered using menus. I think all actions were one- or two-word commands and menus could get fairly long. The graphics seemed to be tuned for b/w Mac and it was vector/fill style (typical for that period). Text and graphics background was white. The game starts in the middle of the road and I've reached some kind of a cave in a few steps. There was also a big bird that did not let me to proceed. That's pretty much all I remember about it. I am pretty sure that it was a commercial game, could be something well-known and multi-platform but I cannot identify it. Any ideas?

Besides, Return to Zork hardly qualifies as IF.
