When dematerialized #videogames became a thing thanks to Valve's Steam platform around 2010, I started wondering whether I missed on earlier games because I simply didn't know they existed.

The answer was mostly "no", but every now and them I rediscover a forgotten gem like Perimeter (2004) by K-D Lab. Featuring innovative features like deformable terrain and flexible squad, this real-time strategy game is unlike most games I've ever played, and the single player campaign kept me interested until it became a little bit too tedious as all RTS tend to end up for me.

However, at a modest US$3.99 on Steam, there are way worse ways to spend one's time and money.
