Here are six high quality point n click adventures that pay homage to the glory days of Lucas Arts adventure games in the 90s.
The Journey Down: Over The Edge
(free prototype, similar art style to Day of the Tentacle)

Ben There, Dan That
(free full game, references Lucas Arts games)
http://www.zombie-cow.com/?page_id=17
Gemini Rue
(free demo, badass Blade Runner game, reminds me of Indiana Jones games)
http://www.wadjeteyegames.com/geminirue.htm
Balloon Diaspora
(free full game, looks like Grim Fandango)
http://cardboardcomputer.com/games/balloon-diaspora/
Dirty Split
(free full game, playful murder mystery)
http://www.dreamagination.org/wordpress/en/dirtysplit/
I Was A Vegas Showgirl
(free full game, unique cartoony art style)
http://www.dageport.com/content/item/44/
But, I really hope the surprise tomorrow is Lucas Arts because I would love to play Full Throttle and Day of the Tentacle again, plus I've never played Grim Fandango and I would really like to.
