Comment (by johnpevensie):

 I do not own any Macintosh AGI games either, but I am aware of them. This
 article examines the history of these releases:
 https://www.savagetaylor.com/2019/12/15/68k-macintosh-and-sierra-agi-
 games/. I have uploaded screenshots here, most of which come from
 MobyGames. Most of them are also in black-and-white. Indeed, although all
 of the AGI games released for Mac were available in color, some versions
 can only be played in black-and-white, and I do not know if the data files
 are in color.
 I assume the fonts used by these games were bundled high-resolution fonts
 that varied by game. As I do not own any copies, I do not know where the
 fonts are located.
 I assume the user interface for the Macintosh version used many system
 features. From viewing screenshots, I assume it was a hybrid interface
 that still relied on the parser system of the original games but allowed
 users to choose words from the titlebar menu. it had a few icons to the
 side, most notably "status", which gave your score, and "look". Additional
 icons and top bar menus varied based on game, such as a timer with King's
 Quest III, a "swim" icon for King's Quest I, and the "map" and "radio"
 icons and the "cruise" menu in Police Quest. The fonts beneath the icons,
 and of course, the menu and parser fonts, are Macintosh system fonts.
 Other than that, I have nothing to say because I only own PC and Amiga AGI
 games.
