Check out Thimbleweed Park. I haven't finished it yet, but I heard about it on HN. Its a great flashback, and i've enjoyed it so far, I'm taking it it small slow pieces to fully appreciate it which is why I haven't finished it yet.

+1 for Thimbleweed Park, though I probably wouldn't recommend it for a 7 year old.

But Tim Schaeffer's studio Double Fine did Broken Age which I think would be great for a younger audience. Otherwise a lot of those games mentioned have been remastered in recent times, like Grim Fandango adding a non-tank control scheme or Full Throttle.

Yes, "The Hidden World" by Fire Maple Games are probably more appropriate for a younger audience, my kids played that game around that age.

Broken age is one of the darkest games I’ve ever played... MAJOR SPOILER: The great Mogs stand for pregnancy...

There's an Easter egg for anyone who's intro to Javascript was The Good Parts in the game. The game was a lot of fun. I played the mobile version on an iPad.

I learned recently that Crockford had been a colleague of the Thimbleweed Park core team at Lucasfilm Games.
