This is an update on the Chrono Underground project - a fresh idea designed to get young people interacting in an exciting place. Right now I, project director, am studying at the University of Iowa and haven't had the opportunity to keep up with getting more fundraising and publicity for this plan.

Name Change Possible

By Ryan Kopf - April 09, 2008

Good afternoon! I wanted to take a moment to announce the fact that we may soon be changing the name of the project to something more creative and imaginative and local. Chrono Underground is a very unique, hard to forget name, but we are hoping to create a new name with the sort of recognition that will bring plenty of attention to our project.

Announcing our new proposed name: Muscateen Center. Send us your comments, suggestions, thoughts, and more.

Teens ask for help to get a 'youth video game center' started

By Chrono - March 28, 2008

(Muscatine Journal) MUSCATINE, Iowa - Nathan Cory Foutch wants a place in Muscatine where he can 'throw down' with friends.

But the 19-year-old doesn't want to fight.

"When gamers get together ... we pretty much challenge our skills â€” any video game, anytime, anywhere kind of thing," Foutch said.

He and four teenage friends spent several months planning a youth video game center they are asking the community to help get off the ground.

The center would offer youth a variety of games to play on Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 video game consoles, or online on computers.

Most people think of a youth center as a misguided attempt by adults to motivate young people; which ends up poorly implemented. Or they envision the arcades of old, with unfriendly staff members, an unfeeling atmosphere, broken machines, and worthless prizes.

We are building something distinctly different. This is a for-youth, by-youth project, growing out of the boredom found in Muscatine. We, a group of like-minded young people interested in change, are endeavoring to build a youth community center, filled with Nintendo Wii, Dance Dance Revolution, StepMania, XBox, Anime, and more.

Drug and alcohol abuse has been on the rise, especially among young people. Our project is desperately needed - to furnish a place to interact with friends, spend time, play games, and escape. But we need your financial support, your time, or your message of support.
