Guru Larry's Retro Corner is a popular
weekly segment on the XLEAGUE.TV series The Chart, which originally appeared as
part of The Chart before spinning off into its own
separate "best of" series.
Presented by "Guru Larry" (Larry Bundy Jr.) and
co-written by Larry Bundy Jr and Wesley Lock
(Wesley is also known as the second voice which occasionally
appears on the show), the series was originally derived from
their earlier ScrewAttack series, Games Yanks Can't
Wank, a show about games unreleased in America; both shows
share a similar sense of presenting style and humour.
The name "Guru Larry" came from Larry's earlier
presenting–producing on the Game Network show Game Guru.
Each week, the series covers a different title from gaming
history, informing viewers about its story and background in a
comedic way. Games featured will regularly be those which, in the
presenter's opinion, have been overlooked or undervalued since
their original release, or quirky titles from gaming's past worthy
of mention and reminding of, rather than the more obvious choices
for retro features like on Pac-Man or Space Invaders. The segment runs for
less than five minutes.
The show is also the world's first and only Retro Gaming TV
series and has also gained a cult following online with fans all
over the world.
