Indie Game Thread

How many indies came out before 1999 and/or run on pre 1999 hardware?

Doom could be considered indie.
Quite a lot of Doujin games could be considered indie, too

What kind of heresy is this

Not QUITE indie, it was more a team of Net Yaroze guys in Japan getting funded by a bigger studio thanks to a prototype, but early game development didn't have broadband to facilitate a game's release without a publisher like we see today. Easily the finest 3D puzzle game I've ever played.

I guess the closest to indie would be the old doujin game releases of the 80s and 90s, lots of fun little concepts and the first real indie giant, Zun.

page claims to have 27 hundreds of games. Sounds about right, if a little low

software, not games. Shareware was more than just games

>>3371320

It's CDs, not single pieces of software. I'm not sure if Teenage Street Sluts is even software.

truly inspirational

>>3370041
By modern standards, everything was indie.

>>3371689
especially the games made by and for the publishers? You know, kind of what indie not is? Indie is not a suggestion of size or quality

>>3370380
it's muh vaporwave movement

Then someone tell the vaporwave kids that these 2 things don't go together, not even ironically.
