Delirious and creative Sega beat-em-up with three off-beat dwarves as heroes. Absurd humor, inventive levels, improbable weapons. Excellent 3-player co-op. An endearing Saturn oddity often forgotten that deserves rediscovery.

Three Dirty Dwarves (Saturn) price, value & rarity
The PAL pressing of Appaloosa's Sega beat'em up, released late in the European Saturn's life, which limits the number of copies in circulation. Its interest lies in being an atypical action title within an already thin PAL catalogue, prized by European collectors combing the console's lesser-known beat'em ups rather than for a reputation of its own.
