Guru Larry's First Gaming TV Appearance

Originally Uploaded: Mon 14 Dec 2009 08:41:41 PST

As it's Christmas, I thought a lot of my fans would like to see my very first appearance on a gaming TV show...

This was me as a young cherub faced 14 year old going through his early 90's mullet phase on the Chrildren's Channel gaming show "Head to Head", it was filmed in 1993 at the Carlton studios in St. John's Wood, London and presented by Violet Berlin.

Anyhoo, it was on Super Kick off on the Mega Drive, and I'm not a lover of Football games to begin with, but I promptly lost thanks to Violet telling me the wrong buttons on penalties, hence why I looked pissed off at the end. But I did-reapply to appear on the show, and this time it was for Rock n' Roll Racing on the SNES and I ended up winning the mountain bike!

Also, the screen we were looking at were tiny monitors, about 7 inches. bloody hard to see small characters.

But thought you peoples on the internets would like to see my first ever appearance!!!

Big big thanks to Rlyehfinland for having a much better copy of this video, than my crappy VHS recording that' I've also lost.

You can see his channel hyar:

Look at that mullet! Incredible.

@Halgarf Hey, it was cool in 1992 :D

[CrimsonComms]

Larry, if you don't get back into Sumo Wrestling and record it for Youtube, I will actually find that Matt bloke's account and worship him as the King of Video Games Forever. Just to spite you.

[LarryBundyJr]

@CrimsonComms I might not be so good at it now I've lost so much weight :(

[dooovde]

Ahh Kick off...2nd best football game ever created...just behind Sensible Soccer. Would take either of them over fifa or pes any day.

Trick with KO was to shoot and then try to curl it right in the corner. With penalties you had to just tap the button really quick or else you'd shoot over...like u did :)

Advice is a bit late but there you go.

@dooovde I must admit my fave Amiga football game is Striker. Never a lover of the top down ones.

[IggyKop]

Ah, Jamie Blueknapp, Ian Brush, what legends =P

[banjosolid]

[GamingMill]

This is brilliant!

[TheLMan101]

"What game are you gonna play?"

"I'll attempt to kick the ball."

God, Larry. Even at 14, you were funny.

Why is it when I see a youtube let's player/gamer in a real life game show, they fail? Take ihascupquake for example...

[19822andy]
