I am impressed. In my current state, the idea of that kind of attention span seems ludicrous.
If these games were a personality test or a vocational aptitude test, my interpretation would be that you are suited to be a research scientist, Bob. You stick with a problem til it's solved, you really want to know how it works.
I get hooked into series of solitaire games, as well as freecell, occasionally hearts or minesweeper, but mostly--scrabble. And a couple of months ago I discovered online crossword puzzles and I did them compulsively. I think I OD'd cuz now I am hardly interested at all.
Your strategy games sound like they keep your brain more active than the numbing repetiveness of solitaire, et al. Still, they do seem to serve as an escape mechanism.
