Yes, I have had this problem with Stargoose all along - I've been playing it
for several months.  This is why I downloaded this version - I had hoped it
was a later release that solved this problem.  No such luck!

I am running it on a 16 mHz 286 machine and it's real irritating to watch the
system clock running at about 3-5 times the normal speed.  I'd appreciate any
hints or suggestions that would save me from rebooting the machine after every
time I play Stargoose.  Thanks in advance.
