Exactly the same game. All of Infocom's text adventures ran under a bytecode interpreter, with the bytecode being shared across all platforms that a game was released on. There are a number of modern interpreters for that format, too; you don't need to emulate an Apple II to play those games (unless you really want to, of course).
