Jakobud:
Not to steal your thunder or anything (cause coming up with your own wiring setup is above my skill), nut there is this plug-n-play USB interface wiring kit you can get:

http://www.sealiecomputing.com/retrozone/intellivision.html

Only $17 for the wiring kit, with a pre-programmed PIC.

I just got a couple SNES wiring kits from this guy.  Good service here :)

Jakobud:  That's the same site Telengard linked to, above.

Or, a 49 way could theoretically support 24 discreet directions, as the "49 ways" are really the boxes in a 7x7 grid.  There are 24 boxes in the outside ring on the grid, see 1st pic.  Now, look at the 2nd pic:  make each red box code for a discreet direction.  Then, the blue corner boxes, AND their adjacent blue boxes all code to the diagonal.  Maybe the green box too, I dunno.  The corners would be a little over emphasized.

Hmm, I've never even seen a 49 way in person and have no idea how it hooks up. I may have to see if I can google up some pictures to clarify this a bit.

There are easy interfaces for PC use for an analog or 49way, see http://dave.bit2000.com.   But to hook them to an Intellivision, you'd have to design your own interface circuit.  That's beyond me.  Here's a couple links to 49 way info, if you decide to try it:
