Dune

Based off the 1984 movie, Dune was to be an action/adventure game along the same lines as the classic VCS game Adventure. Dune was originally started by programmers Bruce Poehlman and Gary Stark, but they had only gone through the brainstorming process when work was stopped. It appears that another programmer may have been assigned to pick up and continue work on Dune. Unfortunately, only preliminary coding had been started before Jack Tramiel shut down Atari 2600 game development and fired most of the staff.
