Welcome to the new digital home of the Rocky Mountain News series, The Crossing.

The Crossing examined the lifelong implications of Colorado's worst traffic accident — a 1961 collision between a high-speed passenger train and a school bus a few miles from Greeley, a crash that took the lives of 20 children and left behind 17 survivors and a grief-stricken community. The stories, which were told with the support and participation of nearly every family touched by the tragedy, showed how a single moment in time uncoiled through decades, shaping people for the rest of their lives.
After the Rocky ceased operations in 2009, access to this project was lost.
Now it's been resurrected, thanks in large part to the generosity of the staff at the Western History/Genealogy Department at the Denver Public Library, which holds all of the Rocky's archives.
Here, for the first time since the Rocky closed, you can find the entire web version of The Crossing. Every word. Every photograph. Every historic document. Every video. All of it exactly as it appeared on the Rocky's website.
You will find that the e-mail addresses for the journalists who produced the series have been updated — so you can write to them with questions or thoughts.
And you'll find that we've added a section of 'extras' for associated content — including follow-up stories about some of those touched by the tragedy of Dec. 14, 1961, and about the creation of a permanent memorial at the crash site.

The Crossing Guardian was a fictitious newspaper that covered the weekly news of a typical in-game village and served as the official website for Animal Crossing. The domain was registered by Nintendo of America on April 3, 2002[1] and went live on or before September 3rd[2] that same year. The North American version of the website was developed for Nintendo by the interactive media studio Second Story[3], a company which specializes in creating interactive experiences that encourage their audience to connect and share.

Layout and content[edit]

The website featured six main sections, each of which covered a different aspect of the Animal Crossing world. The Guardian's content was cycled for about the first month of its release, after which time most of its pages remained static. The main News page, however, would continue to update on a monthly basis, showcasing a different event each month. A bar at the top of the page displayed the volume count, which began increasing by one each week starting sometime in October 2002. The last confirmed issue of The Crossing Guardian was volume 516, as the site was retired sometime between September 1-11, 2012[4].

Item distribution[edit]

Crossing

In addition to hosting downloadable wallpapers and providing general information about the game, the site was used to distribute special codes for the NES games Clu Clu Land D, Donkey Kong Jr., Donkey Kong 3, and Soccer. This was the only method of obtaining these titles prior to the advent of the first code generators in December 2003[5] and the Action Replay's debut earlier that year[6]. Later in its life cycle, the site redistributed codes for the Mario Items that had originally appeared in Nintendo Power magazine[7].

European site[edit]

A slightly modified version of the North American site available in eight languages came online sometime in early September 2004 in advance of its European release on the 24th of that month. While still stylized as an on online newspaper, the section headings are different (there are six instead of five), and the site's focus is to provide information rather than mimic the feel of a periodical. Unreal tournament 3 halo mod. The European site was also used to distribute NES game codes, and when fully functioning, the North American and European sites would often distribute different titles, allowing players to generate codes for two NES games at any given time. Punch-Out!! may have been exclusively distributed via the European site[8], as it had not seen distribution on the North American site as of October 2004[9].

Trivia[edit]

Confirmed villagers include: Bill, Buzz, Pudge, Chevre, Savannah, Bangle, Valise, Rex, Cesar, Ribbot, Limberg, Spike, Hopper, and Stu.
  • NES giveaway pages were accessed by clicking inconspicuous banners on certain pages of the website a certain number of times. The NES game being distributed was typically cycled on a monthly basis.
