If you got together 17 floppies you might have enough to run Doom on

He runs Mac OS Chess on it.

I don’t fully remember, but original DOOM came on one floppy, I think.

Edit. Looks like it was four floppies. Probably the shareware version fit on one.

Edit2: I’m just misremembering. Shareware Doom was 2.4 MB.

Edit3: there was also a one floppy version

Yes the install media is on a floppy but the required HD space to run it is listed as 24MB.
