I loved CYOA books as a child of the early 80s. It was a boom time for choice-based books. CYOA was first but books aimed at more mature (meaning much more gory) audiences were common. Fighting Fantasy was probably the best known, but Lone Wolf and Way of the Tiger were also amazing to my young mind.

This kind of Interactive Fiction is still being developed today. If you like Star Trek you might enjoy my own choice-based game[0] but literally hundreds of games of various level of complexity are being produced every year.
