The Adventure of the Space Ship Beagle

This game was stuffed away in a cardboard box and found 30 years later in a garage

This game was never completed and/or given a public release.

In which the titular Space Ship Beagle flies through an asteroid field and blows up any space rock that comes near it (or, more accurately, gets overwhelmed by them and is destroyed within ten seconds).

It ran in a kiosk at Expo '90 (International Garden and Greenery Exposition) in Kyoto; it was never intended to be sold. It ran on the commercial/industrial CD-i players that were available in 1990 instead of the consumer-oriented players that launched in 1991.
