As part of the festivities leading up to the 25th iteration of GDC next February & March -- which is the host for the Independent Games Festival, Awards, and Summit, of course, organizers have appointed an official GDC historian, Jason Scott.

He is presenting video, audio, photos and attendee recollections from the last twenty-four iterations of CGDC and the Game Developers Conference events in a special section of the GDC website, and his latest post has special relevance to the Independent Games Festival.

The new post puts some freshly VHS-digitized video online -- a rare showreel of the first-ever Independent Games Festival finalists, from March 1999. Go check it out now!
