I had a beta version on CD from a magazine; and later a copied version.

Un plataformas en 3D pero que realmente es 2D y que tiene esa dosis de locura y encanto naíf de aquella preciosa época de los 90 que jamás volverá.
Jugar con Nikki es la true experience.
La dificultad absurda de las fases bonus es exasperante.
Lo de tener contraseñas se supera con savestates en esta época del s.XXI.
Quizá no es un must del catálogo PSX, pero es una pequeña joya del plataformeo de la época.

J'ai joué à ce jeu étant jeu, j'en garde le souvenir d'un jeu sympa avec une difficulté acceptable, pour un enfant en tout cas !

Playstation version is probably the best with fixed music as far as I know. I'm sure there's fixes for the PC version but there you go. One of my favourite 2.5D platformers.

This is how a 2.5D game should be. You are on a path but the path isn't a straight line. It is curvy, goes around corners and around a tower, sometimes there are crossroads.

Also I own a local art gallery and every single background art of this game is in it. I wish I wasn't joking
