Do you need a special computer or special video card to play games on Pogo?

Most modern computers should be able to play Pogo fine. A new video card should not be needed, but a decent CPU and RAM will definitely help.

No, you do not need a special computer or video card to play games on Pogo. The Pogo services only requires that you have a modern web browser, such as Internet Explorer 8 or Firefox 3.5 or above, an internet connection, and the Java plugin installed on your Mac or PC.

The only thing pogo really needs is Java. If you do not have it you can download it by clicking on any game. It will take you to a help page with a link for java. However some games are only available to those with a Club Pogo account, which is a paid for account.

No you do not. Any computer that was bought within the past 5 years should be fine. Compared to many popular computer games the computer and graphics requirements for Pogo are minimal. By keeping such minimal computer requirements it allows more users to be able to play Pogo games and keep the community large.
