Galge = Girl game. It's just a general term in Japan that encompasses most sub genres, sort of like the term visual novel is over here.
In my limited knowledge (
NHK ni Youkoso, wiki) galge means bishoujo game in other term, but mostly eroge (as used in NHK)

Indeed. The terminology varies not only from Japan to other countries (West), but also from community to community. Wikis are also usually maintained by certain interest groups for the sake of consistency, so not even that is really authoritative for everyone. Trouble is, a lot of the people are active in multiple communities / circles, so the mixup of terms is complete. No really, I've lost track already and have given up on trying to make sense of all this - but that's not really a problem (at least not in these forums) more or less it's always quite clear what the person is talking about, even if s/he uses galge and not bishoujo game, or eroge or h-game. Plus I believe in the right of the makers to call their games what they want.
So much in the spirit of "if you can't convince them, confuse them", my logical question is, if there are --galge--, shouldn't there be --guyge-- ? ... Honestly, think about it... There should be! ^_^
I'm offtopic for the second time in a row... I'll put it in small font.
