I'm interested in making some kind of games. Don't really have any ideas just yet, but I want to get myself started and learn how to develop for this system. Where should I start?

Please note I have some programming experience (for Java, anyway.).

I totally recommend Atari 2600 BASIC (aka bB) 1.0. I use it to make all my games. Without it, I'd have to learn ASM, which is apparently very hard.

And now there is a handy-dandy tutorial to get you started (or at least the beginning of one).
