The idea of targetting old duffers ex-gamers is a good one. This is a significant potential marketplace. Good to acknowledge that this may lock out other more usual players, but, after all, that's what Nintendo have been doing with the DS, quite successfully up till recently.

Good use of flowcharting. It makes it easier to see the entire game flow and find logic gaps. I'd like to see a piccie of Max early on.

You need to work on the uselessness (only apparent?) of Max. TV 'tecs are good at this, for painting strong characters. Older gamers will come with this back story of strong 'tecs. Play on this - but you may need to watch more repeats TV such as ITV3.

Excellent scenes in the imagery section. Speaks volumes and does so very well. You need to think more about sounds and music - you could use your own. Music will put the scenes in context, so you could go for, say, '80's big hair music.

Overall - a great idea, and well able to be written by the end of this year. A good summer project. I'd promise to play-test it for you! Just put in some more imagery here and there.
