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.

I never liked Myst back in the day. It was just too weird and the puzzles too difficult for me. In those days there was hardly any internet so it was hard to find hints too (hint lines usually were US only and calling the US was ridiculously expensive from Europe). Eventually I played it through years later but needed handhold.

I thought Obduction from the same makers which had full VR support from the start, a much better game. Nice understandable story, not overly weird. Puzzles not too hard. I highly recommend it.
