This is the one of the harder levels to figure out.  You've got everything
except for one thing.  When you run up the steps you will approach an alien
behind a door.  Move to the right side of the screen away from the alien.
Put up a few shields (3+) between you and the alien then blast through the
door.  Standing beyond the shield, wait until after he throws at least
three grenades before you shoot him.  The three grenades will roll down the
steps and blow a hole in the floor.  Enjoy the game...
