For those, like me, wondering how to play it today. It seems the original studio has released a modernized version available on many platforms (including VR):

I missed out on Myst in its heyday, but have always wanted to check it out after hearing so many great things.

Curious if any superfans think it would be better experienced as the original in an emulator or similar.

Get a modern version with higher-resolution graphics, better color, and other playability improvements. Masterpiece Edition is my favorite version I've played. I think there are a couple of even newer versions; I don't know how they compare.

I wasn't a fan of RealMyst. The game's environment wasn't originally designed for the player being able to wander freely, so it doesn't really add much to the game and even detracts from it in some respects.
