I know that. But when there is no other option? Or to let them learn this too.

I should have been more clear. I wanted the PC games.

While analog games are good, there are times when short sessions of PC/mobile games are needed. I want them to be useful as far as possible.

Very interested in space.

Anything that supports motor skills.
But in case of PC games, start with DOS-based and go to simple modern PC games.

Have the kid appreciate the old games.
IMO, those old 80-90's games are harder to beat, and require hand-eye co-ordination.

Limbo is good game but not recommended for a 7yrs old due to its Brutal nature
My bad. Frogot about the deaths. I like the uzzles in the game. That's why suggested.

There is an ancient game called Croc 2 and Croc, remember having a lot of fun at around that age - was slightly older though maybe 10-12

I second World of Goo. Was so much playing it, that I played it the second time when it came on steam. Just loved it.
