If you're being gentle, there are probably about 40-50 label variants out there.
If you're being sadistic, there's probably a good 300-400. -1 and 5 screws!
To answer your questions:
There is no Bunch Games Baby Boomer, and it does not come in black (This has been confirmed by the remnents of CD). There are very few dark grey Baby Boomer and Captian Comic shells, but they were used for consumer testing, and are more proto shells than anything.
It's late, but I can post all the major variations I've found tomorrow or so, but most notable are Gun.smoke, Impossible Mission II, Blades of Steel, Untouchables, Hollywood Squares, and Wayne Gretzy Hockey. (Not counting company variants like Ubi/Taito Last Crusade and the like). Gretzky has 3 different labels BTW.
And then there's Color Dreams variants. Ask me or ou812now, for we're fairly obsessed with them. As well a Sachen variants, but you'll die of boredom before you even identify all of them, let alone get them.
