Answers:

You should correct name format for installing wheel file. Because wheel file name also includes many information such as the version of program, supported python version. Your command should be like the command below.

pip install pygame‑1.9.3‑cp34‑cp34m‑win_amd64.whl

If the answer suggested by @Harun doesnot work, try

python -m pip install <whl file name with complete path>.whl

If u have more than 1 Python versions installed , check which version of python is being used to install the package using:

python -v 

Also refer to pygame readme for an official installation guide.
