Just do a search for "hypertext literature" or "hypertext theory" and you can read some pretty interesting stories written for adults using a combination of Internet technology and the same concept of "choose your own adventures."

There's also "interactive fiction", which is the genre of game popularized by Infocom (e.g. "Zork"). There's still a community of folks out there producing games of that ilk. They might even be using reverse-engineered Infocom technology to do it.

I used to cheat...I'd find the good ending then go backwards from there.

I LOVED these books. It was a book that actually forced you to skip around pages!!
