The Lost Vikings was one of my favorite games growing up. There have been so many attempts to copy the formula (e.g. Trine) but none have been so memorable or endearing. The character and level designs are wonderful.

Two more memorable clones (that also changed the formula a bit, but the basic premise of "save x critters to progress" is the same) are "World of Goo" (https://store.steampowered.com/app/22000/World_of_Goo/) and "Spirits" (https://store.steampowered.com/app/210170/Spirits/).

Does anyone know if there's a good way to play Three Vikings on a modern laptop or iPad?

It's included in the Blizzard Arcade Collection, which you can at least get on PC today for $9.99 USD.

You want to look into emulators https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emulator . vAmigaWeb is an Amiga emulator that should also work on iPad. https://vamigaweb.github.io/doc/about.html
