For those who don’t know, it was like a plastic tablet with a screen and two buttons, one to draw vertical lines and one to draw horizontal. I always ended up with a big mess on screen, which had to be shaken off.

Actually it wasn’t rubbish unless, like me, you had no imagination or artistic talent.

Well, you can get it on your mobile phone now.

Etch A Sketch has been converted by Freezetag and launched in conjunction with Player X.

Better still, there are two games hidden inside this mobile application. One is called Cut out and the other Blockbuster.

But you can use the app to draw your own pictures if you want.
Siginifcantly the mobile version will be released in time for Xmas while the online version apparently won't. Strange.

A quick look on Amazon showed that Etch A Sketch is right up there with all the other classic toys.
