For your consideration is one used, tested and working game of Dune.  Tested on an Atari CX2600, 2600+ and 7800+. 

 

The backstory of Dune (from Atari Protos)...

 

"Based off the 1984 movie, Dune was to be an action/adventure game along the same lines the classic 2600 game Adventure.  Dune was originally started by veteran programmers Bruce Poehlman and Gary Stark before they began working on the 5200 game "The Last Starfighter" (which also went unreleased).  Unfortunately Gary and Bruce had only gone through the brainstorming process when work was stopped.  However 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 2600 game development and fired most of the staff.

 

While it may be very incomplete, Dune shows alot of promise.  Had it been completed, Dune's complex adventure game style would have been a welcome addition to the 2600 library (perhaps washing out the taste of the craptacular SwordQuest series).  Unfortunately the collapsing video game market and the Tramiel take over killed off any hope that Dune would be finished.  Still this prototype is unique look into what Atari had in store for gamers, if only had things turned out differently.
