G, H, and K.
1920s aren't mentioned, but I like that, also.
A bunch of things on the list sound fun, and I'd love a chance to try them out.

D) Wild West
F) Far Eastern Games (Kung fu and gun fu)
G) Victorian
H) Archeologists
I) Victorian Cyberpunk
J) Gangsters
L)World War 2 continued with monsters and robots

P) Monsters
Q) Stompy robots
R) zombies
S) alternate histories
T) Post-apocalyptic

Incidentally, a fun genre that comes and goes is Weird West (Dracula's America, etc.).

To answer Stone Mountain Miniatures question, I have played pirates, Nazis vs. Dinosaurs, Archeologists, Dr. Who, Gangsters, Victorians, Monsters, Zombies, and some that I have forgotten. I run 1960s Spy Fi (James Bond), Post-apocalyptic (Mad Max), Kung fu and gun fu, and Space opera (Star Wars).

I tend to think of Pulp as more of an artistic style or approach than any specific era or setting. In our most recent Pulp Alley game, there were three leagues involved -- Nazis, carnies, and Martians. There were also ghosts, but they were plot points.
