 Well - maybe not.

 I've been very successful porting Peter Koch's Apple ][ emulator
to FreeBSD.

 On a Pentium 90 or greater; it runs very well.   LodeRunner should
work fine there.

 You can find more information about Apple ][ emulators in the
comp.emulators.apple2 newsgroup. Also, to grab a bunch of emulators
and related software see ftp.asimov.net.
