I quite enjoy Cannibals From Outer Space, I certainly like it more than Wolfan, a similar style game from the same author. I didn't know it was from the same man who wrote Brian Bloodaxe though. -

Alchemist is a good shout. Brian Bloodaxe had usable objects but I think that was 1985. Avalon was 1984....
Alchemist, if the not the first, must be one of the earliest. -

I didn't know Cannibals from outer space, but checking it I see its author is C. Bystram, the guy behind Wolfan and the atmospheric Psycho City(*). Cool isometric games.
(*) And Brian Bloodaxe, of course. -
