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 North American version of Appaloosa's Sega beat'em up, the market where the game was best distributed yet never went mainstream. Its collector interest rests on its standing as an action curiosity with unabashed Anglo humour, sought by US collectors who appreciate forgotten Sega titles and their comic-book art direction, rather than on extreme scarcity.
