Where to start?

[HeavyMetalMe]

Where does one start to begin creating 2600 games? I'm a huge shmup fan, and I'd like to take a stab at making my own, and 2600 seems to be a good, basic start. Any help/info/links would be appreciated. Thanks.

In Programming, the Forum below Homebrew Discussion, is a 2600 Programming forum with 2 sub-forms that will get you started.

If you don't consider yourself to be a genius and programming your first game the hard way looks like it might take you 10 years, there is a faster way to get some games made. Check out batari Basic and the new IDE called Visual batari Basic. Those two programs together can help you get your ideas up on the screen in record time.
