My heartfelt condolences to the family.
I also had memories about Icicle Works from my childhood. I had a C16 with 16K RAM, so Icicle Works did not run on my machine. So every time I wanted to play "more serious" games, I visited my friend who had a Plus/4 with 64K RAM  We played a lot with Icicle works, next to Mercenary and some other games. Certainly soon I got my 64K expansion from my parents
Doug was a real professional programmer, who supported this small scene with high quality work and enthusiasm in the last decades. His return, and "The Pit" was such a polished piece, it is hard to surpass at any platform.
He had a heart from gold, we saw it from every comment, every reaction. I was (together with the others here) lucky to know him, even just virtually.
He will be missed by all of us.
Rest in peace, Doug!
