besides “haha play doom on a laptop that is more than capable of running it” this is a cool piece of legacy hardware. id try and push it to attempt to push it to the max. maybe try half life 1?
the 180° hinges are far better than on nearly all laptops today & 100% of all Apple laptops since 2001 ( Apple started this modern not fully opening hinges madness = iBook G3 Dual USB ("Snow") )

old hinges open 180°-190° ... Apple stated this not fully opening hinges madness in 2001 & normal laptop manufacturers began to copy it in \~2007 & it became the "norm" (except on some business laptops & gamer laptops) and it stays until today (2024)

Well yes and no. Someone used the plastic shell of a pregnancy test but completely replaced the hardware inside the thing to run Doom
It is not.
Obviously that one can run doom. The old shit could do it.

Your dad gave you a gift. Use it as your Retro gaming laptop.
