1990's + Survival Horror
Games tagged both 1990's and Survival Horror: 45 indie paid launches, 8 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing 1990's + Survival Horror priced $10 to $20, hiding samples under 30 launches. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair beats both its tags; 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: 0.5 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 10 games tagged both 1990's and Survival Horror priced $10 to $20. 60.0 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 14.7 for 1990's-only games and 16.8 for Survival Horror-only games, so games with both tags did better than games with either tag alone.
Both: 10 games priced $10 to $20; 60.0 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $106,462.
Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 10 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.
