The success of the original Lost Treasures of Infocom prompted a follow-up collection published in 1992 and appropriately titled The Lost Treasures of Infocom II. This package contained 11 more classic Infocom titles. The games included in Lost Treasures II were:
- Border Zone
- A Mind Forever Voyaging
- Plundered Hearts
- Bureaucracy
- Cutthroats
- Hollywood Hijinx
- Seastalker
- Sherlock: The Riddle of the Crown Jewels
- Wishbringer
- Nord and Bert Couldn't Make Head or Tail of It
- Trinity
Leather Goddesses of Phobos was not included, but could be ordered for $9.95 via an enclosed coupon.
The quality of the photocopied feelies and manuals was, in general, slightly better than those in the original Lost Treasures package. A few items were reproduced quite faithfully, such as the Trinity site plan and a newspaper and map of London from Sherlock. However, the games' InvisiClues were not included as before; instead, a card advertising a pay-per-minute hint line was included in the package.
In addition to being dual-format (MS-DOS and Apple Macintosh), the CD-ROM version included three extra games:
- James Clavell's ShÅgun
- Arthur: The Quest for Excalibur
- Journey
The Soul of the Samurai and Known World maps from Shogun and the map from Journey were included separately; an added instruction manual included the Book of Hours from Arthur as well as instructions for all three added games.

Famous quotes containing the words lost and/or treasures:
“The body and the soul know how to play
In that dark world where gods have lost their way.”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
“The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To “see the light” too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
