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
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.
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?
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
Elder scrolls morrowind. 12 hours should'nt be a Problem.
Angband or umoria
I'd probably bring Warcraft III, Half Life 2, and potentially Deus Ex if the PC was extra shitty.

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.
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.
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.
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!
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...

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.
12h is barely enough for 1.5 out of 33 of Ascendance of a Bookworm volumes. I would probably rererereread volume 1 and 18
Install the gta 3d games need for speed most wanted 05 and music from 80s to the 90s
Zsnes and a few roms
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
- Newest Linux distro
- G4 and G5 MLP episodes
Morrowind, RCT2, Total Annihilation with all my mods and Deadlock 2 as well if I have time.
Can it be running some unix derivative?
I'd probably sit and play Unreal, or maybe Riven if I was feeling more chill. Could easily burn through 12 hours like that. Just need to be able to take a case of Jolt, a few bags of chips, and some Skittles along and I'd be set.
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.

A complete collection of QI episodes, and I'd be able to watch a fraction of them 😊
If it were actually the mid 2000s, I'd be okay for an insane amount of time with just Flash and Audacity. Today, probably the first Baldur's Gate.
Oo or an snes emulator with Shadowrun.
