The mazes and plot are exactly the same.  I think KOD has some slight changes.
The graphics in the new version let you see rock-like walls but otherwise
it's the same.  The game play is much better than before - you don't have
to camp all the time.  You can also use keys for a lot of things.

The only ones released for the Mac are Wizardry I & II (Proving Grounds and
KOD).  There are five total - more if you count the new "Wizardry" games like
Bane of the Cosmic Forge.
