2015 was the first year for The Basement! Here is a compilation of some of the best moments over the last year. The games we have gravitated towards have been mostly retro titles like Mario, Zelda, Oregon Trail, Secret of Evermore Co Op, Kirby's Adventure and Donkey Kong Country. Although, we have played some newer games with that "nostalgic" feel - like Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows.  

From the beginning we have wanted to keep our channel family-friendly and yet still fun to watch for adults. 

If this is your first experience with The Basement, thanks for watching! This is a great way to catch up with what we've been up to over the last year. 

If you've been following us for awhile - thank you so much for the support and for being a part of the community. We hope you enjoy taking a look back at the last year with us!

Game snippets from Wikipedia:
Secret of Evermore was released by Square in North America on October 1, 1995. The game received positive reviews upon its release due to its graphics and gameplay, but was criticized for not being up to the standards of what many reviewers were used to by its developer. A unique element to Secret of Evermore is its system of magic. In order to cast magic, the boy must be given an "Alchemic Formula" by one of many non-playable characters called "Alchemists". The score for Secret of Evermore was composed and produced by Jeremy Soule as his first video game project.

The Oregon Trail is a computer game originally developed by Don Rawitsch, Bill Heinemann, and Paul Dillenberger in 1971 and produced by the Minnesota Educational Computing Consortium (MECC) in 1974. The Oregon Trail was extremely successful, selling over 65 million copies after ten iterations over forty years. It was included in the book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die. It was a hallmark in elementary schools worldwide from the mid-1980s to mid-2000s, as school computers came bundled with the game.

Mega Man 2 is a platform game developed and published by Capcom for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It is the second installment in the original Mega Man series. The game was released in Japan in 1988. Mega Man 2 is a platform and action game like its predecessor, Mega Man. The player controls Mega Man as he traverses eight stages to defeat the bosses, Dr. Wily's Robot Masters: Metal Man, Air Man, Bubble Man, Quick Man, Crash Man, Flash Man, Heat Man, and Wood Man.

Shovel Knight is a 2014 2D side-scrolling platform game, developed and published by independent video game developer Yacht Club Games and was initially released for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo 3DS, and Wii U. Running parallel to Shovel Knight's story, Plague Knight plots his own scheme, planning to steal essence from Shovel Knight and the other Order members to use as ingredients in the ultimate potion, capable of granting any one desire of its user.

The Legend of Zelda, subtitled The Hyrule Fantasy in its original Japanese release, is an action-adventure video game developed and published by Nintendo in 1986 and designed by Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka. The Legend of Zelda is often featured in lists of games considered the greatest or most influential. It placed first in Game Informer '​s list of the "Top 100 Games of All Time" and "The Top 200 Games of All Time" (in 2001 and 2009 respectively), fifth in Electronic Gaming Monthly '​s 200th issue listing "The Greatest 200 Videogames of Their Time", seventh in Nintendo Power '​s list of the 200 Best Nintendo Games Ever, 77th in Official Nintendo Magazine's 100 greatest Nintendo games of all time and 80th among IGN readers' "Top 99 Games".
