Well, Javascript is not what you want. Javascript is used for client-side control on web-pages/applications. Perhaps you mean Java?
But, I don't know what you mean by "Amiga style" games. I had a Commodore 64 (the predecessor to the Amiga) and I believe most of the consumer games were machine language. The enthusiast games were mostly BASIC.

I don't know; it might be possible to do a really simple game with Amiga level graphics (or sprites, for that matter) in JavaScript. I'd think the hardest part would be capturing the arrow keys, as the event onkeypress doesn't trigger for them.

Well, yes you could do something like "Lunar Lander".
But considering the OP stated he wanted to get into programming and this was not posted in web development I made the assumption that this would be windows based.
