'''''Club Pogo''''' is a subscription-based online game website that launched July 23rd, 2003, as a premium version of pogo.com.<ref>[https://blog.pogo.com/21st-birthday-pogo-history/ A brief history of Club Pogo.] Retrieved 10 Apr '24</ref>

Pogo hosts a plethora of browser-based games. Almost all are casual games that range from single-player word games<ref>[https://www.pogo.com/games/word-whomp/play Word Whomp, one of the site's most popular free titles.] Retrieved 10 Apr '24</ref> to multiplayer board games.<ref>[https://www.pogo.com/free-online-games/multiplayer Currently offered multiplayer titles. Some can only be accessed with a Club Pogo subscription.] Retrieved 10 Apr '24</ref> Club Pogo, the premium version, allows users to access a multitude of extra games with no ads as well as members-only chat rooms. Other services provided included customizable avatars, unlockable badges, and virtual prizes.

==Removal==
From 2003 until 2020, Club Pogo's games ran in Adobe Flash Player. In 2020, dozens of titles were removed from the website due to the discontinuation of Adobe Flash Player. As these games were locked behind a paywall, many were unable to download the files before they were removed, and they have since been lost.

A handful of these games are still available on Pogo's website, although they are HD remasters written in JavaScript and are not the original Flash games.<ref>[https://www.pogo.com/ Pogo.com's home page, which can be accessed without a subscription.] Retrieved 10 Apr '24</ref>

==Preservation==
While almost all of the original game files are lost and have not been released to the public, there are multiple videos showcasing gameplay footage. Screenshots for multiple games have also been archived. Many links to game pages are available on the Internet Archive but are not acessible to play as an account cannot be made.

In 2021, a user on the Internet Archive uploaded 27 titles that were available on PC as well as on Pogo's website.<ref>[https://archive.org/details/Ultimate-pogo-PC-game-preservation-project Link to the Pogo PC games uploaded to the Internet Archive by user Magic Jewelry Nerd Reserection.] Retrieved 30 Apr '24</ref> These are not the original Flash Player files and are upgraded versions of the original games, but the core gameplay is almost identical.

==Games==
A total of 39 games were known to be available through a Club Pogo subscription. Almost every game has surviving gameplay footage or screenshots, but as of 2024, no games have their files available for download on the Internet Archive.
