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.
