I was reading the threads and agree that there has always been a lack of good video game stores in CT. Growing up as a kid there was a Funcoland in Manchester CT that was absorbed by Gamestop and discontinued all of the classic video games.I was heartbroken when it closed.
It has always been my dream to fill that void and after 15 years in the corporate world I am opening my own independent video game store in Westport CT on October 22nd. We will be specializing in everything from Atart and Colecovision up to PS3, Xbox 360, etc...I just finished putting together the wall of NES which has about 600 NES games. The store is called Retro Games Plus and is located at 1761 Post Road East in Westport CT for all you other CT gamers if you are in the area stop by! Also check us out at www.retrogamesplus.com.

How did I NEVER see this thread?!?
Wrights barn is hit and miss, sometimes they have some good stuff and good prices. Other times they have crap for CRAZY prices (combat for $
Game X-change was pretty good the one time I drove out there (being from the Torrington area its a bit of a drive)- Got Super Mario world loose for $6
Made a good haul at the Waterbury goodwill once. Torrington goodwill rarely has anything other than sports games. ( LOTS of xbox and PS2 games lately)
Salvation army in torrington is a long shot. Made a eh genesis purchase there.
For anybody who collects records and old toys. Coins & Collectibles on Water St. In torrington is THE PLACE in CT for it. The owner Jeff Has what seems to be damn near everything. the prices are pretty good, he will negotiate a bit, and he is just a really cool guy to talk to. Call first cause he keeps wicked weird hours.
