The C:\POGO Archive

The POGO Archive is a dedicated MINI-Wiki hosted here at scratchpad, made to preserve the documented work of fictional defunct game developer POGO, or in their early days "C:\POGO".

What do we do?
Here we document many of any information on POGO's games, from their early arcade boards and the games using it and their PC releases.

Full List Here (TBA)

What is this? Did this company ever exist?
To start, no, POGO is fictional. Think of it as alternate fiction history. Like, a way of telling a story in a more, "creative" sense. This isn't as more fan-fiction like parodies on this site, but rather more of a way of creating fake documents for more, original (?) work.

What did they make?
Well, in the history section of this page we'll talk about a brief cliffnotes version of their history. In short, they developed video games and technology from 1987/88 to 1996.

Big Bird?
wat.

Is this parody?
Well, some of their "games" are a jokingly insult to fads of games gone by, like FMV (video footae used as "games") and licensed movie games (yuck). Not in the sense of that "crossover parody" is but more like satircal humor parody.

Basically insulting someone but all in good fun.

Why make this?
Because all there is he is pages on crossover "shows" with random character name lists (usually the same ones from old/bad/outdated/cheap(in my opinion, though I do like myself some Awdry sometimes)) and I wanted something with a bit more, '''UMPH. '''Unless I'm missing the point of this wiki. I dunno.

History of POGO
POGO was founded in 1988 by former Microsoft employee John Cean (Does not exist, hopefully) as C:\POGO. A group of computer programmer and people with a love for games. And money. Anyways, they started out making arcade boards, such as the infamous PowerCade, the worst thing to ever exist. By 1993 they had seen "the future" with this new fangled thing called CD-ROM. IT COULD PLAY VIDEO. LETS MAKE GAMES, BUT ITS LIKE A MOVIE! So they made "Old Shoes" for MS-DOS (Old Microsoft operating system, no desktop, all command lines) and Mac (like old macs, the ones that made Steve Jobbies quit Apple). They started making rubbish games for consoles with awful movie tie-ins, just to rub salt into a wound so deep it hurt worse than death. Then they went bankrupt.

Dull suprise
You won't get it.
