Why not? Why wouldn't it?

I think you should just try it. Download the latest free version, which 
will give you a choice between using the 10-line script limited version 
or the fully-functional 30-day trial. Select the 30-day free trial to 
get the equivalent of a fully licensed version with no script limits, 
which will run for 30 days. Then open your latest game stack in Rev and 
see how it does. Make some new stacks while you are in there too.

The only thing I can think of that might be different is that Rev uses 
different default fonts and sizes. If you have any fields that use text 
defaults, they may look different (text will be smaller.) Other than 
that, I can't think of anything that would affect your stack.

MC and RR use different methods behind the scenes to ease the 
development process. For example, a lot of the keyboard shortcuts are 
different (such as how to get into the script editor.) However, once the 
stack is written the IDE becomes immaterial and is, in fact, almost 
never called on to do anything. And if the stack is made into a 
standalone, there is no IDE any more at all; both compile identical 
standalones.

I can guarantee that your stacks will run identically in Revolution. 
Really, it isn't any different than people using their own cusomized 
Home stacks in HyperCard.
