editHi @Cunard, I have two reviews for this game (in Computer Gaming World and Softalk), do you see anything else for it? BOZ (talk) 18:44, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
Hi BOZ (talk · contribs). Here are some sources I found about the subject:
- Shaw, Luther (July–August 1982). "Micro-Reviews: Bez-MX". Computer Gaming World. Vol. 2, no. 4. pp. 34–35. Retrieved 2024-05-14 – via Internet Archive.
The article notes: "The real strength of BEZ-MX is in the advanced game which requires planning. In addition to the elements in the basic game, players of the advanced game must maintain industrial production in a war situation. Players assign the population of their countries to work on the farm, factory, airfield, or city. You can have the people work in these areas (which will help keep military goods in production) or you can hide your population in shelters (perserving population but ending production)."
- Hunter, David (March 1982). "Reviews". Softalk. Vol. 2. p. 103. Retrieved 2024-05-14 – via Internet Archive.
This page notes that David Hunter wrote the review. The article notes: "There is scoring in Bez-MX to determine who wins, though a low score does not necessarily indicate a badly played game. It is easy to rack up points bombing cities and farms, but destroying the more crucial things like the runway and factory are what help you win the game."
- "New Players". Softalk. Vol. 1, no. 2. November 1981. p. 2. Retrieved 2024-05-14 – via Internet Archive.
The article notes: "The first two to look for are Bez-Mx and Bet-J, both based on current defense projects that President Reagan has given the go-ahead to in real life. Besnard is excited because he feels they're great strategy and action games. You lay down your strategy at the beginning of the game and then modify that strategy during real-time using game paddles. Bez-Mx and Bez-I should he available in December."

- OK, thanks @Cunard! :) I'll do what I can with that. At the worst, I'm sure it can be merged somewhere. BOZ (talk) 12:24, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
- @BOZ: - The game could be added to List of Apple II games, but I'm unsure that a non-notable entry should be added. Waxworker (talk) 17:01, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
