Looking to make Atari 2600 style games

[square arrow]

I'm looking to make a virtual retro console (which would be a game containing various mini games that are accessed by a main menu). The mini games would have an old school look and feel...along the lines of what would be played on the Atari 2600 or the Odyssey 2. It would run on windows and I've been looking at some of the game making software that is available. I'm not too code savvy yet, so initially the games would be drag and drop. Are there any recommendations on what would be the easiest drag and drop game making software to use? Remember these would be low graphic 2d games. Thanks for the help.

I would do a Google search on:

 

Racing the Beam: The Atari Video Computer System (Platform Studies)

 

..and buy that book. That will give you all the info you need to simulate Atari 2600 graphics. You have plenty of choices for drag and drop PC game development. I'd look into Game Maker or Construct 2.
