Number (game)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Number is an early 1970s text-based computer game for BASIC designed by People's Computer Company in which one must guess a number from one to 100, which the computer is "thinking of." The game appeared on page 2 of the book What to Do After You Hit Return or P.C.C.'s First Book of Computer Games.
