Gamebooks, perhaps? There are new both as printed books, e-books, and tablet/computer apps. Just thinking that might be a good way to start out with text-games, making an easier transition to games where you need to type in commands, even if that was not what you asked for.
The Virtual Reality gamebook series for instance was re-released just a few days ago, and the first book is free on kindle until today:
