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:
“A sure proportion of rogue and dunce finds its way into every school and requires a cruel share of time, and the gentle teacher, who wished to be a Providence to youth, is grown a martinet, sore with suspicions; knows as much vice as the judge of a police court, and his love of learning is lost in the routine of grammars and books of elements.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“No one enters the Temple of the Three Treasures without a reason.”
—Chinese proverb.
