Dieselpunk is a genre I really like but I don’t think I ever played such a RPG. Anything in the style of Jakub Rosalsky, or Maschinen Krieger?
Kriegszeppelin Valkyrie and Romance in the Air are settings fot Fate Core set during an alt-WW1 but focussed on zeppelins and Biplanes battling landbased Juggernauts.
Romance in the Air is set on a luxury zeppelin and focusses on social interactions and espionage between Great Powers, whereas Kriegszeppelin is specifically Fighter Aces in Biplanes.
Two things that may or may not add to the list:
  1. Would modern pulp adventures in the style of Uncharted or Tomb Raider fit under the Pulp Action category or be another subcategory of pulp? (example of a system would be Broken Compass)
  2. What about fictional 80s/kids on bikes? (as in e.g. Tales from the Loop)

Yeah, I too thought that Kids on Bikes should probably be added as another genre (its not quite Slice of Life)

Tomb Raider/Uncharted are Pulps, directly descended from Indiana Jones, Allan Quartermain and the like.

Theres also the whole 80’s cinematic action genre - Commando and Rambo, Deathwish, Lethal Weapon, which might also cover the Street Fighter - Gymkana genre too
