Sure, provided you can demonstrate it meets your funds investment strategy and you lock it away unplayed! Soon as you play a game you've breached the rules and suddenly your fund is no longer getting all those tax breaks if someone was to discover your transgression.

Ahhh, so buy 'em, then lock them behind glass... Torture...

I remember this exact game in "Arthur's Hamburgers" in Broadway Reservoir. Used to play it all the time in the 70's / 80's.

for an old reservoir boy that my grandparents took me to eat out as a young fella in the 60's, this mention bought a tear to my eye. i cant remember the name of the pool hall in edwardes st that took many coins from us when space invaders was first released in the 70's, but just the mention of arthurs on the other side of the lines was a little trip back down memory lane, thank you :)

late note: i think it was johnnies pool hall, but i stand to be corrected as it was 30 years ago (god im old)

"Top Room" - opposite the Police Station. Had Snooker Tables, some vids and Bingos. I think Dad just operated the bingos, but he owned "Delfino's" which was just down the road. No Billiard Tables there from memory, just a wall of Bingos and Pinballs. Arthur had a very famous Hamburger in the Nothern Suburbs. Dad had Night Driver and an "Evel Knievel" type EM Arcade machine and a couple of pins as well !

it was top room i reckon! we may have called it johnnies, but top room rings a bell for sure. it was a little down the street from the cop shop, prob a few doors up from byfield ave (?) and upstairs. arthurs had the best burgers (right thru our teen years when we ran amok on out treadlies) and my nan and pop took me their for a steak, eggs and chips quite afew times. i cant remember what they had, but i was always much impressed cos they let me have chips and eggs on the same plate but didnt serve up vegies or salad (which is just what a young bloke wanted) and i think they only had a few tables (to eat) also.

i cant remember delfinos to be honest, as the top room was where we went until the bowling alley opened on keon parade (which was only 3 streets from home) and then that was that. the memories of throwing all out money into a 4 wheel driving game that i cant remember the name of, as well as kiss and playboy pins, as well as gorgar is imprinted forever.

what a trip down memory lane and im so happy to have done a littl trip too! thank you!
