Bagels is an early 1970s text-based computer game for BASIC designed by People's Computer Company similar to Mastermind (board game), in which one must guess a 3-digit number which the computer is "thinking of." The game appeared on page 10 of the book What to Do After You Hit Return or P.C.C.'s First Book of Computer Games.
