All in Japanese but nothing that the almighty google translation can't solve, and most of them don't need a master in Japanese to play, just the basics.

Rapid Reload. It has a lot of similarities to Gunstar Heroes

Assault Retribution is a better Contra than the actual Contra entries on PSX.

MDK is a funny game, it got tons of hype when it came out, like everything Shiny Entertainment released in the '90s... then everyone acted like it never existed. I don't remember hearing about the sequel, and the series died out after two games.
I love Alundra, but I don't think it's some unknown game among current or former PS1 owners.

Seeing as no-one's mentioned it yet

The Rapid Angel. A pretty good beat'em up/platformer hybrid. It's in Japanese and there's no fantranslation available so you won't get much out of the story but you don't need to to be able to beat the game comfortably and the gameplay is great. Just make sure you don't abuse the cat if you don't want to get the bad ending

D

Never heard anyone talk about it

D is another "well-known once, forgotten name" game. That's because it was kind of an evolutionary dead end, from the brief period where we thought pre-rendered CG was impressive enough for regular people to buy a pretty niche adventure horror game. I finally played D a year or two, btw. It's decent, the flashback scenes are still stylish and effective. D2 is completely different but it's pretty good too, despite some flaws (mostly lots of overlong dialogue that needed to be edited).
