This is a PSP adaptation of classic Amiga/DOS platformer by Microids (http://www.microids.com).
The game was published in 1993 and was also ported to the Atari ST and PC EGA platforms.
PSP port is based on a cross-platform game engine recreation by Gregory Montoir (http://cyxdown.free.fr/nicky/)

GAMEPLAY
-------
The sequel to Nicky Boom; this time Nicky must find out who has been removing ladders and
blocking off caves in his homeland. The gameplay is essentially platform, with multi-directional
maze-like levels. Beating the obstructions requires occasional brainwork – hidden ladders
are easy enough to uncover, and there are lots of hidden sections to look for. The levels are
colourful, and the game has a cute look making it appear suited to younger players. Mirrors are
placed around the levels, which transport you to a random place.

Although, save-game / level codes are currently not implemented, there are "secret" button combos,
which enable a player to jump to next level and get bombs as well as other goodies.

Note: in case you encounter a black screen problem, try resetting your psp (holding power switch for a few seconds) or using alternative eboot.bpb, attached below.
You can also try swapping eboot from Nicky Boum (Nicky 1) game.

Ok, The alternate eboot for Nicky2 seems to work for me (the original black screens like nicky1) :)

Edit: this alternate also gets Nicky1 working
