So, Anyone remember Pogo.com? It was pretty popular for a while, at least. However, a lot of the games from the site are lost after the redesign of the site. I remember playing a lot of the games on it. Personally, I remember fondly Lottso, Crazy Cakes, Quick Quack, Pogo Addiction Solitaire, Boardwalk Sea Ball, Puck's Peak, and a of bunch others. For a lot of these, videos can be found, but the games are lost. There were also games like Bloons 2 on Pogo, but I don't remember if there were major differences. However, there is one game that I really want found.
Cirque Du Flea.
There are only 3 sources I found that claim the game exists, and one of them is from EA themselves. This source, however, states that Episodes 1 and 2 are free, while the rest needed to be paid for. So even if we found the game, I don't know if Episodes 3+ will be accessible.
Besides all that, a lot of the Pogo.com games were online multiplayer games. The servers are probably down by now. Some games were available after the redesign until flash died, but a lot were Java-based. Not to mention the Club Pogo Exclusive games and the bonuses. There was also the Pogo Games app, with 5 mobile ports of a few games. The app was sunsetted a while back. Anyway, I really hope some of these games get found.

Yeah, that one seems pretty lost. It looks like there was an effort from somebody on Reddit to save some of the flash/java based Pogo games before they got taken off the website 5 years ago, but searching flashpoint, it doesn't seem like they succeeded.
Short of messaging someone at pogo.com, the lead developer, or the gal who did all the art assets and asking if one of them still has a working copy of the game somewhere (not terribly likely), I'm not sure how you would proceed.
I hope I'm proven wrong though! It would be nice if it was still out there somewhere

Yeah I don't think EA will care if I do that.
Also dang, 5 years?

Some videos of the Java games are on Youtube. Casual Games Fan has a bunch. I might try making a list of the lost java games later. And there are definitely some flash games not listed, like Greenback Bayou. I think that was flash. There's probably over 100 pogo games, and around 30 are on Flashpoint. And most of them aren't listed here. I really want this to be an article, if it means there's a higher chance of any of these getting found. I emailed the girl who did the art for Cirque Du Flea (Didn't come across that when I searched, jeez i'm bad at searching), waiting for a response. Probably won't lead anywhere. EA probably deleted everything, honestly. If even 1 gets found, I'll be happy.
