Probably not. You can compare the two with the DOS command

fc /b firstfile secondfile

but my guess would be that a good deal more than 4 bytes have changed.

I wouldn't expect any. The bytes that changed will be the game state
(things like Willy's current location and position) and these will be
reset each time the game is run.
