How to Play Pogo Games Using a Flash Drive

You can install video games onto your portable USB flash drive.

Pogo is an online Internet gaming community that allows you to play small Flash- and Java-based games either over the Internet or on your hard drive. When downloading the game files to your computer, the information is typically saved on the computer hard drive. However, If you are looking to save room on the system drive, you can download the contents to a USB flash drive and play it from the portable device. Do take into consideration, though, that you can only play the game on the computer to which it is downloaded. This is because the game uploads files to the computer registry, which are required to play the game.

Instructions

1. Plug the USB flash drive into the computer, then double-click the downloaded Pogo game. If you have not yet obtained the video game, open your Internet browser, select "Pogo.com" and choose the game you want. Select the download link to download the game to your computer.

2. Double-click the downloaded game to load the software installation wizard. Accept the end-user agreement, then click "Next" for the installation name. Choose "Browse" for the installation location and select the USB flash drive as the location.

3. Select "Install" and the game installs onto the USB flash drive.

4. Click "Start," "Computer," then double-click the removable device icon. Select the video game icon from the open window and the Pogo game loads onto the screen.
