I'm an Atari 2600 programmer. Not a spectacularly good one, but I do have
one published homebrew game, and I have written a pretty decent tutorial.
This is a small list of resources I put together just so I'd have them
all in one place at an easy to remember URL, and maybe some other people
will find them useful.

2600 101 An introduction to programming the Atari 2600...not for the faint of heart or weak of programming skill. Some people have found it a useful gateway to this esoteric artform. Andrew Davie's AtariAge forum 2600 Programming For Newbies is also a good starting point, though hasn't been updated in a while.

Stella Archive MiniDig Stella Selections The [stella] mailing list is a stupendously important resource for most Atari developers, and The Dig is currently the most powerful search engine for diving into its past conversations. The MiniDig features choice selection from the old days of the [stella] list.

For some reason, I just like the idea of game development journals.
As far as I know, there's no big listing of them, so here are some
I've found interesting.
