Guru Larry's Retro Corner
"Guru Larry's Retro Corner" is a popular weekly segment which appears as part of "The Chart", 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").
Each week, the series covers a different title from gaming history, informing viewers about it's story and background in a comedic way. Games featured will regularly be those which, in the presenters 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 orSpace Invaders . The segment runs for less than five minutes.The series has now spun off into its own 15 minute series, showcasing four previous Retro Corners per episode.
