The series has spawned dozens of spin-offs in arcades and many more across home consoles, and has also become popular as a way to keep fit, featuring in UK and US school exercise programs. Csépe's record-breaking performance has sparked interest in the gaming community, with many taking to social media to congratulate him on his achievement. His feat has also highlighted the physical and mental demands of competitive gaming, and the importance of preparation and training in achieving success. As for Csépe, he is currently taking a well-deserved break after his marathon gaming session. When asked about his plans for the future, he said that he is already looking forward to his next challenge. "I'm always looking for ways to improve my skills and push myself to new heights," he said. "Who knows, maybe one day I'll be playing for a professional team or competing in a major tournament." In the meantime, Csépe's record will stand as a testament to his dedication and endurance. His achievement is a reminder that, with hard work and determination, anything is possible, even in the world of competitive gaming.
