You're going to be looking mostly at 2D, turn based games of point and click adventures. Fortunately, there are quite a few:
Blackwell series
Gemini Rue
Most of the Broken Sword games
The earlier Monkey Island games (actually probably most any of the classic Lucasarts adventures, of which there were many).
Fallout 2 (obviously), although Fallout 1 doesn't run at 40-50 FPS on anything so I'm not sure where you are getting that number from. Fallout 1 is an only DOS-based game with 2D sprite animation. Hell, most of the death animations are like 15 frames -total- and they go so slow you can see each individual frame.
I've also had decent luck with the Telltale Sam and Max games on newer Atom CPU laptops, but I have no idea if they'll play on the laptop you are describing.
Lone Survivor and Home are both horror-themed side scrollers that play ok on lesser machines. Home is fairly short but Lone Survivor is pretty deep.
Other games that look like they -would- run may not. Games that I tried on Atom-based computers that do NOT play well include:
Bastion
Braid
Limbo
Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes (turn based 2d strategy game)
The Walking Dead (simple 3d graphics but surprisingly demanding)
FTL
Swapper
