Doom. Cave Story. Duke Nukem. Countless PC games that would spawn into big franchises. Just about every PC game in the 80s was indie and were sold at local shops in ziplock bags with dot matrix printed instructions on a 5 inch floppy.

Interesting, never get to know those games were indies (when originally released)

They weren't considered indies. But the team sizes back then were sized what we would call today indie. So if we apply this metric, all games were indies. Not only in the PC area, also console games were made by teams of five or ten people. EA was indie back then. But I wouldn't apply this as metric. The term indie didn't exist back then. Because there were no big ones.
