Admiral Cool is a series of games in Star Citizen lore.

Admiral Cool versus the karate dogs from Mars

Admiral Cool versus the Karate Dogs from Mars is the first game co-authored by James Romanov and James Vandyke, released by Perigree Press under a 'try before you buy' license, that helped make the pair household names.

Bright, colorful and fun, Admiral Cool's kid-friendly outlook belied outstanding technical achievements under the hood. As he has done with all projects since, Vandyke viewed the project as a technical challenge: how could he recreate the experience found in arcade machines and dedicated gaming rigs on the common mobiGlas? Turning to an encyclopedic knowledge of assembly language and machine logic, he created a stunning interface unlike anything else available for wearable systems at the time.

Admiral Cool in Vegetable Panic

The final title, Admiral Cool in Vegetable Panic, was created solely to fulfill a publishing contract. Romanov built the levels for each game, turning colorful blocks, cartoon dogs, hamburgers, Opi-Ola bottles and glittering candies into an immersive, fast-paced world.
