 EV> 1. How do I find Windows Games I can Play Online? - Play not Download.
 EV> 2. How do I find DOS Games I can Play Online?
 EV> 3. How do I find Linux Games I can Play Online?

Do a Google search? Not being facetious. I know there are some old school
games hosted online.

 EV> He also want to be able to Download Game(s) for Windows (DOS or Linux)
 EV> and use a Emulator to Run the Game on the Chromebook.

If it's a newer Chromebook it will run most android apps. You can search on
the play store but I know there's ibochs, which is a port of bochs x86
emulator; retroarch is available to run some linux stuff. No idea how well
either work. AnLinux is supposed to be pretty good.

 EV> so I asked him to look on Google Play Store to see if a Chromebook
 EV> version of a WINE type program is available there.

Afaik there's no version of Wine for Android.

 EV> He said he doesn't have any luck finding any Games when he Searches for
 EV> them on Google, so I told him about trying to use DuckDuckGo to see if
 EV> anything different shows up.

When I search for Dos Game Online on Google the very first link I come across
is https://playclassic.games/ and several more just like it.
