The only actively-developed DOS emulator for Android/Chrome OS at the moment is Magic Dosbox, which is not only still receiving major updates, but is also an excellent application in general.
My personal favorite for years was DosBox Turbo by Fishstix, but it hasn't been updated since October 2015, and there are reports of the keyboard and other functions not working on newer versions of Android. There are a few DOSBox ports for Android, but most of them have been abandoned. The first step is, obviously, to pick an emulator. Unless you want to play games that generally only require a mouse, you will probably need a device with a physical keyboard (Chromebook, 2-in-1 tablet) or an Android-compatible controller to have fun with DOS games. Even though the recommended emulator in this guide (Magic Dosbox) does have support for on-screen controls, they don't work well, and usually have to be customized for each game. DOS games were designed to be used with keyboards, mice, and/or joysticks.
