Name: Apollo Plan - アポロプラン
Year: 1970
Company: 東光遊園設備 (Toko Amusement Park Equipment)
Apollo Plan appears to be the exact same game as スキールロール (skill roll), just with the new name and a different company. We have no date information for skill roll, but we do you have an indication that Apollo plan was at Expo'70.

Apollo Plan also appears in the in 1972 machine directory, guaranteeing that it existed in 1971.

Compare this with the locations on the skill roll flyer, and there is no overlap. It is just my assumption that the skill role model was built before the Apollo Plan model. perhaps one is the manufacturer, and the other is a distributor? Perhaps one company is copping the other? perhaps one company purchased the other. I have no other clues to go on now.
