Calling Nethack text based is a little disingenuous. It uses text characters as tile-based graphics, which is a different thing.

Modern Z Machine games have complex-ish worlds, but roguelikes' objects have a far more emergent gameplay. Then, MUDs. A lot of them have pretty complex worlds simulations.
