How come there is no DOS emulator on the site? There is so much games on the Windows and Dos such as Doom and Fallout 2. It makes me wonder why there is none at all. Why?

Because those kinds of games have a take a whole lot of memory to have on the site. The more data you have uploaded on the site the more money it will cost to run. It is already very expensive as it is. There are tons of other games on here that you can play though. There is Doom on the SNES which I think is basically the exact same as on DOS. There are also many other wonderful RPGs on this site that are fun to play.

So is cost the only reason we don't have games like that? Or is that just the main reason?

I think its more of an issue of emulation, not size.

There are lots of dos/older windows games that are smaller than a lot of roms.

The issue may actually be in setting up dosbox (the most common dos emulator) to run properly on multiple machines.
Dos emulation can be very finicky and requires a lot of tweaking that would otherwise not be available through a site like this.
