This a bug that was found almost immediately after stargoose was posted
to the net.  I haven't seen an updated version yet or a good patch.  The
problem is with the DOS clock rather than the CMOS, so rebooting your 
machine after playing stargoose will put the clock back where it belongs.
(at least it does on my machine :-) )

It's a little bit of a hassle but, what the hell, its a good game.
