FTL: Faster Than Light would run on a computer that old, yeah? Probably bring that and a couple animes to watch while I play it.
Oh shit, if it's XP then I'd be good just playing pinball for the full 12 hours

12 hour morrowind marathon begin. and a few seasons of TV series I like.
I remember back in 2013 I picked up the full expansion set at a thrift store for $4 it was the best summer of middle school by far— got the werewolf mod working and went around finding out who was essential to the plot by killing them and then reverting the saves— good times

Open X-COM. Or well, maybe the regular X-COM, that should run just fine regularly.
Some books as epubs or whatever format is convenient, and a reader. Would have to research which one works on Windows 2000 or ME. Or was it XP already?
Surprised no one mentioned GTA series
Bro remember the top-down GTA games?! Those were legit.

Elder scrolls morrowind. 12 hours should'nt be a Problem.
There should be an external hard drive full of portable game installs in some drawer that fits the time period.
Should easily kill a week.
warcraft 3, sid's pirates, civ 3 or 4. portable of vlc for some classic 90's anime.
probably some snes roms, an emulator, and some ebooks
Install the gta 3d games need for speed most wanted 05 and music from 80s to the 90s
Silent Hunter III
Sink some tonnage.
Morrowind, RCT2, Total Annihilation with all my mods and Deadlock 2 as well if I have time.
I'd copy my Doom and Quake folders, hoping the modern sourceports still work on them. Well, PrBoom+ and ZDoom should both work. Then all my emulators up to the 32-bit era, some music and the seasons of Kamen Rider and Ultraman that I'm currently watching.Honestly I could just bring my actual external hard drive or my HP laptop from 2013 that I installed Linux on. It's what I got on those.
12 hours? Lol probably just some stuff to code on and screw around in. I'll probably take a nap in there somewhere to kill time
12h is barely enough for 1.5 out of 33 of Ascendance of a Bookworm volumes. I would probably rererereread volume 1 and 18
Max Payne 1 and 2, F.E.A.R, Far Cry, MAME with a couple of arcade roms like Galaga, Tetris, Pang, Puzzle Bobble, Metal Slug.
And if I get bored with those there is always Microsoft solitair, mine sweeper and mayong to fall asleep on the keyboard.
Some retro computer emulators(Atari 8-bit, C64) and my dev environment for them - when you target old stuff you can customize the whole dev tooling setup with very little compromise, especially if you go the route of assembly/Basic/Forth and then pile on higher level build steps. I'd have to be careful around the potential problem of "whoops there's a 64-bit binary in there and I'm on a 32-bit OS".
Basically if I were back in college it'd be that all the time, and then VLC and some anime or movies in 480p. No sense in keeping up with those darn 2000's games.
Civilization 4, Dungeon Keeper, Black & White just to name a few. See you next year. :p
Man, I haven't thought about Black and White in a long time. I wonder if I still have the disc floating around somewhere...

- Newest Linux distro
- G4 and G5 MLP episodes
Zsnes and a few roms
I'd love to chance to play a bunch of nostalgic titles - just off the top of my head I'd play DOOM, Uplink, Darwinia, Morrowind, and my trashy favourite from that era Themepark world. There are definitely more if I had time to think about it.
Angband or umoria
I'd probably bring Warcraft III, Half Life 2, and potentially Deus Ex if the PC was extra shitty.

Diablo 2 with a mod: Project Diablo 2.
I'd download an offline copy of the wiki, too. And a build guide; 12 hours isn't enough time to come up with a build and play the game!
When what happened to me, I had Chrono Trigger. Shortest 12 hours of my life
As a Line Rider Creator, I'd get Line Rider Overhaul, Ungoogled Chromium with the linerider web app, get a bunch of mods and download a bunch of cool .ogg's.

This kind of feels like every work day. Except I can't use the pc for fun. Lol help me :')
+1 on roms and Doom. Maybe the sims. Tbh I'm not too familiar with that generation of PC gaming. There's probably a lot I don't know about
So, just a PC? No controllers or anything?
I might get a few 8 and 16 bit ROMs
And mainly movies, I'd get around to watching Rambo and get some other stuff
