Content listing:
- With ??? glossy full-color pages our biggest issue ever (it’s more like a book...)

He started in the pinball industry in 1937 at Western and started working at Gottlieb in 1939. In 1947 he started designing his first game and since then designed 180 games in total of which 159 made it into production. Each and every one of these, as well as several prototypes, are featured in the magazine. Former colleagues and pinball collectors also comment on working with Wayne, Gottlieb’s transition from EM to solid-state games, what makes Wayne’s games so special and more.

CONTEST TIME!
Similar to when Pinball Magazine No. 4 came out I'm doing a little contest in which the first correct answer will win a free copy of the magazine:
Guess the total number of pages (including cover) of Pinball Magazine No. 5.
A few rules:
- only one entry per person
- you're not allowed to change your entry
- I'll be running the same contest also on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/PinballMagazine/) picking 1 winner per medium (so 1 on Pinside and 1 on Facebook)
- if no-one guesses the correct number of pages, there may not be a winner
Hint: Pinball Magazine No. 5 will be our biggest issue so far!
Quoted from unigroove:CONTEST TIME!

I'm going with 352 pages!
Quoted from wolftownjeff:289 HP 1966 Mustang, I mean 289 pages, hope it's more!
My 1st car was a 1965 Falcon with that engine!! Memories in that thing...
314 pages.
But for the life of me, I just can't figure out how Wayne got a picture of Antoinette on his wall?
OK, I'm going to make an exception to the rules. I will also give an extra hint.
The hint: a magazine always has an even number of pages.
The exception to the rules is that those who named an uneven number earlier in this thread may change their guess once to an even number.
Good luck!

I was just thinking that a magazine always has an even number. Anything below 260 is also useless since issue 3 was 260. Writing pages will be hard.There was a drop from 260 to 244 pages with issue No.4.
So I go for 276 pages (since 272 and 274 are already taken).

Hmmm... this makes me suspect the winning number hasn't been picked yet, otherwise why give a tip.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:I'm TOTE-ally winning this with a guess of 277 pages.
