I'm sure there are decent HOG games (I can name three) but the majority is just dumb and lame without proper puzzles that actually make sense. And that is (in my opinion) definetely not the case with the "real" adventure market.

Of course it could be just me being snobbish and all that.
Agreed. I know oh so well how many POS HOG are out there. Its just that when you actually find a good one, you truely enjoy it.

They are indeed nothing compared to General Adventure games, but they definitely have the essence of story and mystery.
