Gotta give some sports game love too.

NFL 2K, enjoyed playing it with friends a lot more than madden at the time.

Fire Pro Wrestling D - absolutely one of the greatest wrestling games of that generation IMHO. I remember my friends and I trying to figure out WTH we were doing for awhile before getting the hang of it.

Use work laptop as personal device by dual booting on a separate internal drive?

I currently have a Dell laptop that runs Windows for work. I use an external SSD via the Thunderbolt port to boot Linux allowing me to use the laptop as a personal device on a completely separate drive. All I have to do is F12 at boot, then select boot from USB drive....

I have to second the get your own laptop.

The company I work for has software that does hardware / software inventory regularly. So additional hardware added can and will show up.

Also, when hired we are told in in uncertain terms that tampering with the laptop can and will be grounds for termination.
Booting off of an external drive is ill advised as many work laptops have restrictions to the USB/thunderbolt ports as well as modifying bios settings.

Lastly, using corporate hardware (be it a cell phone, or a laptop) should never be used for personal use. It's a good way to lose your job. I know more than one person in my career that lost their job either from texts sent from a work cell phone, or using their work computer for personal things. It's just not worth it.
