Well, that was quick. I got distracted from making a TT recap by a new old game I thought I'd look at a bit--then I figured out what to do--and it got really interesting, and I figured how to make maps from the save states.

The game's called Sundog: the Frozen Legacy, which explains the post title, and it's a good one, a trading game where you fly between galaxies to trade stuff. This is extremely inventive for 1984 (the only game with similar features that I remember is Pinball Construction set) and it even has a joystick interface where you move to a button and click on it. When I played it as a kid I was blown away by the interfaces and didn't know what the hell to do, and anyway beggars and robbers kept asking me for money, and I kept getting my butt whipped.

Fortunately there are online resources including a page by the creator, Bruce Webster. None has Apple maps or a complete walkthrough. This looks like a really good game to put maps up at GameFAQs for, and I have just submitted the first such map, so watch this space.

The only downside is that between Sundog and Rescue Raiders--and Shadowkeep, which I asked to have added to HG's database before I got stuck midway through--I can't think of other Apple games to explore. I'm open to old-school suggestions. I was also pleasantly surprised to see other people--ok, 1 other person--also still chipping away.
