Showing 1980s + Casual priced $10 to $20.
The pair's chance of a $100k+ first year beside each of its two tags, ranked like a high-score table, with typical earnings and the launches behind every figure.

Each circle is one tag, sized by its launches, and the gold overlap is exactly this pair. Click a part to read it. Price changes the odds more than genre does (under $5: 0.5 in 100 launches earned $100k+; $20 to $40: 42.4 in 100), so read it within a price band.
The overlap is this niche: the 11 games tagged both 1980s and Casual priced $10 to $20. 9.1 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 19.1 for 1980s-only games and 12.9 for Casual-only games, so games with both tags did worse than games with either tag alone.
Both: 11 games priced $10 to $20; 9.1 in 100 earned $100k+ (1 in 11), typical first-year earnings $2,671.
Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 11 launches. The outer parts are each tag's launches minus the pair's, so their chance is exact; their typical earnings are not computed yet.
