The Retro Adapter AP40 only simulates three PDL values, so it's actually digital.
But before Chris Torrence comes around to state otherwise, the game pad "does work" with most Apple II games, since only a few really require the analog values of the Apple Joystick.
So, if you want to buy it to play Choplifter, this is not for you. For everyone else that wants to have a nice Gamepad for use with emulators and Apple II alike, it is really cool.

And here's the obligatory link to my review of the AP40:

Along with a more technical review:

Finally, you can buy the gamepad here:

Like cybernesto said, the AP40 works well for emulators and Apple II games that only require digital left/right/up/down (like Lode Runner), but works poorly for games that require analog controls.
Cheers,
Chris
