     A major problem with an ADB joystick is that most current Apple II
games will not work with such a device. Other problems are high cost and
limited selection. 

     While new high quality for-Apple II sticks are hard to find, good PC
sticks from CH, Kraft, etc. clutter the shelves of your local Computer
Galaxy outlet. A PC-to-Apple II converter is easy to make and lets you
pick any PC stick you like for use with your Apple.
