Why is there no android interpreter for these games? Legal issues? Lack of interest? Have a lot of these games and played them on the PC, but you can't carry a desktop PC around like a tablet!

It seems like an Android port of DOSBox would meet your request. A quick search just turned up quite a few folk who have written their own ports of DOSBox for Android. It looks like DOSBox Turbo is one of the more popular ones, but I've never actually used any of them.
