Editing Star Trek: Bridge Commander (section)

==Development==
In late 1998, publishers Activision made contact with [[Totally Games]] for the start of development of ''Bridge Commander''. Employees working for Totally Games spent six months on research, design and testing to keep the game within the bounds of the ''Star Trek'' universe.<ref>{{cite book|title=Star Trek Bridge Commander: Instruction Manual|date=February 2002|publisher=Activision|location=Santa Monica, California|page=1}}</ref> At [[E3 2001]], the multiplayer mode originally to be included was dropped in favour of [[single-player]]. This announcement was reversed several days later.<ref>{{cite web|last=Varanini|first=Giancarlo|date=July 26, 2001|url=https://www.gamespot.com/articles/bridge-commander-to-include-multiplayer/1100-2798849/|title=Bridge Commander to include multiplayer|website=[[GameSpot]]|publisher=[[CBS Interactive]]|accessdate=August 24, 2018|archive-date=August 7, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200807113232/https://www.gamespot.com/articles/bridge-commander-to-include-multiplayer/1100-2798849/|url-status=live}}</ref>
