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:
“Not so many years ago there there was no simpler or more intelligible notion than that of going on a journey. Travel—movement through space—provided the universal metaphor for change.... One of the subtle confusions—perhaps one of the secret terrors—of modern life is that we have lost this refuge. No longer do we move through space as we once did.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“If, then, this civilization is to be saved, if it is not to be submerged by centuries of barbarism, but to secure the treasures of its inheritance on new and more stable foundations, there is indeed need for those now living fully to realize how far the decay has already progressed.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
