What Is It?

Psionoply is basicly Monopoly for the Psion. There is one version for the Series 3 (Pocket Book I) and one version for the 3a/3c (PB II). This game features just about all of the things that the real monopoly game features, but it also features full screen scrolling of the board because the board won't fully fit on one screen! The game now has in-built help.

Some of the features are:
