Panel 1
Alex and Sam sit at a cluttered worktable, surrounded by circuit boards and game cartridges. Robin, standing behind them, holds the FPGB Mini, examining it closely. Robin (excitedly)
Robin: Check out this FPGB Mini! It’s like a Game Boy, but smaller and cheaper than the Analogue Pocket!
Panel 2
Sam leans back, arms crossed, giving Robin a skeptical look while Alex reaches over Robin’s shoulder to take the FPGB Mini from her. Sam (deadpan) Alex (optimistic)
Sam: Yeah, but it only plays Game Boy and GBC games. Not exactly a Swiss Army knife like the Analogue Pocket.
Alex: But it’s still awesome for the classics, right? Plus, it’s got that retro feel we love.
Panel 3
Robin grins widely, nodding vigorously as she pats the FPGB Mini affectionately. Robin (with enthusiasm)
Robin: Doesn’t matter! It’s got the magic of a real cartridge. And it’s a fraction of the price! Can’t beat that.
