Stargoose unpacked fine; runs fine for me; great game for the kids (I
can't handle these kinds of games :-)

But... I have found that my system clock runs about 3 times faster then it
should after quitting the game.  Anyone else have this problem?  

It's a pretty nice game; I'm surprised this was overlooked.  The test I ran:
check the real time 10 seconds apart - ok; run goose and quit during the
startup banner; check the real time 10 seconds apart - ~30 seconds had
ticked off.  I know time flies, but ....

I'd appreciate someone sending me info on the timer i/o port and
appropriate values to reset the system timer for an xt class machine.
It'd save having to reboot the machine every time the kids are done playing.
