It's a multicart.  Many NES/Famicom games on one cartridge.  This one isn't licensed by anyone, though, and is therefore illegal.  Multicarts usually have repeats of games.

No, Apollo is most likely the company who made it.  It probably says "Apollo" somewhere on the cart.

Apollo was also a company that made games for the Atari 2600. I do not know if there is a connection between them or not though.
