Ticker: price and year-over-year change for 40 genres. Price is the median estimated first-year revenue of indie paid launches. The change shows for genres with 100+ launches. The same figures are on the Genres page.
1990's + Action
Games tagged both 1990's and Action: 252 indie paid launches, 14 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing 1990's + Action priced $10 to $20, hiding samples under 100 launches. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair is about level with 1990's and is about level with Action; priced $10 to $20 it has too few launches to read.

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: 0.4 in 100 launches earned $100k+; $20 to $40: 44.2 in 100), so read it within a price band.
The overlap is this niche: the 46 games tagged both 1990's and Action priced $10 to $20. 17.4 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 17.5 in 100 for 1990's-only games and 19.2 in 100 for Action-only games, so the mix is about level with 1990's alone and is about level with Action alone.
Both: 46 games priced $10 to $20; 17.4 in 100 earned $100k+, odds by size $1k+ 89 in 100 · $10k+ 61 in 100 · $100k+ 17 in 100.
