OK, I beat level 7 on rookie mode.  I use a keybord for a controller.  (I 
found that the "Microsoft Natural" keyboard is better than my 
old-flat Fuji.)

I had to use the save feature quite a bit.  Refrain from using your 
vulcan gun on anything but the bad boy.  You can use the entrance tunnel 
to snipe at him.  Don't get greedy.

I took shots at him that were clearly in the cross-hairs.  If you hit his 
arm you've hit him.  On my system the stereo sound appears to reflect off 
of the wall of the tunnel I'm in.  I hear left and know he's to my right.
You'll need to be able to tell when he's close and far away to access the 
goodies in the central cylinder.  (I couldn't go aropund the cylinder 
more than once without smacking right into him.)

The monster is consistant.  If you nail him and he starts disappearing 
then back off.  (Your position is vunerable when he "vreebs".)

I was nailing him with the lazer at quad, level 4.  I could only hit him 
with one side of the lazers.  I hit him and he vreebed out.  Then I heard 
the gasp, and the countdown to destruction.  

Patience is the key, and saving.

Are you sure you don't have your stereo effects reversed?  Try the
"reverse stereo" option in the Options menu (hit F2).
