Since those games were distributed via the medium they were for (BBS),
I'm not sure any of them ever were boxed.  I agree, however, it would
be cool to have one that was.

I don't know that it would have much monetary value.  I tried selling
a book with the RBBS disks still sealed in the back on eBay.  Nary a
bid.  I've seen people comment on missing the days of BBSs, but
there's not the nostalgia for it yet that there is for, say, classic
computer games.  (Of course, we're also talking a smaller population
of computer users back then that were into BBSs.)
