Rance 01, Rance 03 and Rance Quest all allow you to capture Gal Monsters and have short scenes involving them for doing so. In 03 you can even have Milli do the capturing instead of Rance, though the cgs aren't any different. In Quest, you can have the Gal Monsters you've captured help you out in battle. They're not party members, but they do things like attack enemies or induce status effects. There's no final reward for capturing all of them in any of the games like with Tamanegi in VI, though, just cgs.

While a handful of Gal Monsters appear in IX, it's impossible to capture them and they're generally barely in the game (most of your enemies are male human soldiers). The strategy-based Rance games (Kichikuou, Sengoku and IX) aren't kind to Gal Monsters. All of them still have them appear, just in tiny, barely-noticeable roles that you'll probably overlook.

Satella isn't recruitable in Quest, as far as I remember she only appears in one side quest. It's pretty memorable, though, and clearly sets her up as a major character in X. That said, the game has a character creation feature, and since Satella has a perfectly-sized portrait right there in the game files, it's incredibly easy to make her as a party member, if you feel so inclined.

Good luck with clearing VI.
