Regardless of whether you call it a game or a toy, the Etch A Sketch is a fond part of many people’s childhoods.  Indian game services provider Game Shastra has signed a deal with Freeze Tag, a mobile games developer, to make Etch A Sketch for the PC, Mac, and Web.  You guessed it, a videogame based on the classic toy created by the Ohio Art Company.

Game Shastra is also mulling over versions for Xbox 360 Live Arcade and the Nintendo Wii.  No word yet on a Nintendo DS version but that would be a logical next step.

You can play the web version of the standard toy at Etch A Sketch.com and, I must say, I’m not impressed. You can hold both arrows to draw diagonally but if you let go of just one arrow, movement stops.
