For those unaware,
Harold Combess of ActionSims quick play sports games passed away last month (March 2024) due to lung cancer.
I was entrusted with his games by his wife Mary and reassured her that they would continue on in perpetuity, reaching more tabletops than ever before.
Jeff Downey graciously offered a space here to house them on this wonderful site that sees a lot of traffic and I can't thank him enough.
Some have asked already prior to the games being re-released here about donations to the family and it is not in Mary's wishes. Through sympathizing with her by sharing my own losses to cancer (my mom to colon cancer when she was 57 and my grandpa to brain cancer when I was 7), Mary and I mutually agreed upon the optional choice of donating to the American Cancer Society (any amount) instead.
If you have ever lost a loved one to any form of cancer, you know the void it creates in your life. Please consider helping them to find a cure so that someday others won't have to suffer the same fate.
I am also asking that if any of you have
..."Shoot-Out: The Game of Pro Hockey"

to please comment here or message me so I can make arrangements for its re-release as well. I will make sure to credit you for your contribution like I have all the others that you will see personally mentioned in the description field of each download.
Let's work together to find this elusive game so that all of Harold's games can be played and enjoyed on tables everywhere for years and years to come! Nothing would make him happier!
Thank you all and be well!

I'd like to thank those who reached out to me with messages of condolences regarding Harold.
I'd also like to give a special thanks to the eight folks who shared that they donated to the American Cancer Society in Harold's honor.
Please enjoy the exclusive ratings I created for you not available anywhere else (Harold shared some of his ratings formulas with me before his passing and gave me permission to rate future teams for his games).
I just submitted The Pro Baseball Chronology 1871-2007. The file was too big to upload as one folder, so I had to split it into 4 separate ones instead.
Here is the updated list of Harold Combess' ActionSims Games available on here that I have acquired and re-released so far. There are others, so if you have any, please message me at my inbox here or find me on Facebook so I can arrange to get them added as well.
I tried Delphi Forums, but after days of not being able to respond to posts due to a 48-hour waiting period, and then posts being stuck in limbo for a day or longer awaiting moderator approval after the "post waiting period" expired is a bit much.
