Swordquest: Waterworld (1983)

The third game in Atari's Swordquest contest series, and the one whose contest never happened. Waterworld was first offered only through the Atari Club and reached stores later. Atari, losing money fast, then canceled the contest: the national final was never held and its prize, the Crown of Life, was never awarded. Each Swordquest game shipped with a comic book, so a complete Waterworld is the leftover kit for a treasure hunt that stopped halfway, which is a better story than most rare cartridges can tell.
