The SOPHISTICATED term is Interactive Fiction. But yes I do play a few here and there, I like it but I'm no good at it.
There's actually a pretty large IF community out there; Not just the DOS classics. I've been making one myself, but the process is slow so it might not even come out anytime soon, if ever.
After doing some research, there have been about 49 IF's released this year alone.
