If you haven't played Rage before, feel free to look it up.
Plays like Wizard, or Oh Hell.
For this list, however, it is probably more the use of the 6 colour suits, though, numbered from 0 to 15, that'll lend itself to re-use for other games.
I saw somebody start one of these, briefly, but then he/she must've made it private.

This game can be played with a Rage deck. You will have to group two colors to be played as a single color.
e.g.
Red & Purple are both the same suit
Yellow & Orange
Green & Blue
You can then use the -5 & +5 for the Phoenix cards, the higher of the two obviously would be the +5 card.
Use the ! for the multicolored card, and one of the Joker cards or Circle with X cards, as the Red Dragon.
The rules can be found online.

Take 14 cards from each of the 6 suits and 10 of the black cards to make up your Klunker deck. You'll need a start marker, 5 player markers, and 5 'shop windows'. Read the rules and you'll understand perfectly. It's a fantastic set collection game by Mr. Bohnanza. I should note that you can also play this with a Bohnanza deck.

Use 9 cards from each color, each color will be used as a different commodity.
Assign a point value for each color.
If you are playing with the Bull and Bear variant, you can use one of the special cards to represent each of these cards.
Play as usual.

Although some might say it would better be played with Rummikub tiles, I find this nice game a worthwhile entry to your list.
You can lay out the "board" with faced-down cards of the Rage deck in a 7x7 grid and indicate the "2x Double Time" spaces by face-up special cards (black).

Two decks, use five colors, two each of 2 and 3 cards and one each of 4,5 and 6 cards. Use two of the 2 cards from the sixth color for the joker cards. I recommend poker chips for the money.

Use the 1-14 cards of four suits. From another suit, use a 15 for the high goal, and a 0 for the low goal.

Use 1-13 cards of four suits. Or you can just use a regular deck of playing cards.

You would need 2 Rage decks to play The Great Dalmuti. You will need one 1, two 2's, three 3's, and so on, all the way up to twelve 12's, plus you can use two 0's as the two Jesters.

Katzenjammer Blues could be played with 1 deck of Rage & 24 markers of some sort.
You need 15 each of the following: Jokers, 1's, 2's, 3's, 4's & 5's. So just designate one color for Jokers, one color for 1's, one color for 2's, one color for 3's, one color for 4's & one color for 5's.
Note: If you don't like the ideal of designating a color to a number you could always use 3 decks of Rage & use the "0" (zero) cards as the Jokers.
Katzenjammer Blues is a fun game & it is out of print! So, you might want to give this a try with your Rage deck(s). 
The English rules for Katenjammer are available on BGG.

It's fun, it's healthy, it's good exercise. The kids will just love it. And we put a little sand inside to make the experience more pleasant.
You know, they say there was a man who jumped from the forty-FIFTH floor? But that's another story...

While I am lucky to have my own copy of Control Nut!, you can play it with a Rage deck if you want to give it a try.
You need: 1-13 in four colors/suits
And 6 other cards each to denote the "Control" cards...
You will have to find the rules though... which is easily found, with enough searching.

Five assorted cards in each of six suits, here shown using cards from Trumpet:
The 0 cards in Rage can be used in place of the 10's. Either way is appropriate.
Scoring chips are also necessary.

Just tried this during lunch with a rage deck using the English rules translation file - it is playable and seems to work well. I think it plays better with more than 4 players. You can use the 0s and the mad/out/wild/change rage cards as the -5 and -10 point cards.

I know, it's not a game! But you could use a Sticheln deck as a Deck of Dice. Use it in stead of rolling your dice in games like Settlers.
Use one 2, two 3's, three 4's, four 5's, five 6's, six 7's, five 8's, four 9's, three 10's, two 11's and one 12.

My friend and I have played around with standard Rummy games (usually implementing traditional Gin) with the Rage deck. Sometimes we expand the necessary book or run to 4 to make the game a little more playable, but for the most part it remains interesting.
Zero's are great

This is a fun little game. Give it a try. You only need 11 cards: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 & 16. Just use a 0 (zero) for the 16 card.

Can be played with a standard deck of cards, so long as you can remember which are the special perches.

Obviously, many games are better to purchase on their own: for the artwork, clarity of card function, less work sorting the game cards from the non-game ones, support for a developer whose works you enjoy, etc.

Considering the listed games are all just thinly (if at all) disguised variations of public domain games and that they contain almost identical components (a half dozen suit cards numbered from zero to eight/ten/fifteen), I am more surprised that they were successfully published in the first place.

There's currently a Kickstarter project running for a game called Solitaire for Two, which is an upgraded re-release of Indochine 2000, also called Six-Suit Solitaire, and is like the solitaire computer game (Klondike) on steroids.
But perhaps the best bit is that it comes with plastic tiles in six different suits from Ace through King, along with three wild tiles. This is a great alternative to a Rage deck, and means that you can use these tiles to play a whole range of card style games like some of the ones on this list.
If you want to learn more, check out my pictorial review of the game and its components, or the Kickstarter page.
