This is something that I'm really quite sad that I missed out on. By the time I was interested in programming enough to understand how this would all work it was a couple of years too late. I'd say Minecraft is the 'new' version of this kind of thing, though certainly in a different sense - it's actually pretty opposite in some ways (making the gameplay rather than beating it). I'd be interested to see what comes along next.
