CRPG
Computer role-playing game. Examples: Diablo
CYOA
Create your own adventure. This kind of game books are usually actual
printed books that consist of hundreds of short, numbered segments. At
the end of each segment, there's usually a choice to be made. ("If
you want to open the door, go to 142. Otherwise you continue down the
corridor, g to 215").
IF
Interactive fiction. The contemprary term for what some would call text
adventure games. Examples are the original Adventure game, or the Zork
series. Independent developers still make them, and usually make them
available for free. ifwiki.org is a good place to look for more information,
or the rec.arts.int-fiction newsgroup.
RPG
role-playing game. The first example that springs to mindis of course
Dungeons & Dragons.
