A gravity warped blue grid is not what I'd call original, sorry! We'd 
played with that kind of thing back in our 16-bit demo days and I'd 
imagine there were people doing it before then. Even the artwork isn't 
that original, not that it's an excuse to copy it - just trying to show 
the shades of grey involved.
