Anyone know of older Floppy Disc writable games to download?

My mother lives a bit "Old fashioned" and has this very old early 90's if not late 80's model computer.

The name of the computer whether it be a Mac or PC, I don't remember, all I know is it's some brand I've never heard of.

The specs on it are VERY low, something around 2 Gigs of Virtual memory and between 70-130 MB of RAM.

She leads a rather boring life and asked me if there were any games I could install on her computer.

I installed Mall Tycoon and to my surprise it works but it does lag a little bit, so the low RAM goes a long way, I guess.

Anyways... does anyone know any sites where I could download games and put them on a floppy disc for her?

Also, do you think her computer would run a Nintendo emulator [or would fit on a floppy]? That would be awesome and she would be tickled to death to be able to play old Nintendo games to pass time.

Update:

I forgot to mention that her version of Windows is so old, that there is no task manager. When you hit Ctrl Alt Delete, something similar to a task manager comes up but you can't really "Do" anything with it, it's just what seems like a very small list of processes.
