The Lost Treasures of Infocom II - News

The Lost Treasures of Infocom II is a collection of text adventure games from interactive fiction pioneer Infocom, published by Activision in 1992. It was available for MS-DOS and Apple Macintosh, and also as a cross-platform expanded CD-ROM version. This follow-up compilation was released following the commercial success of their previous collection, The Lost Treasures of Infocom, which contained 20 of Infocom's most popular games.

The 11 games included in all versions are:

A Mind Forever Voyaging
Border Zone
Bureaucracy
Cutthroats
Hollywood Hijinx
Nord and Bert Couldn't Make Head or Tail of It
Plundered Hearts
Seastalker
Sherlock: The Riddle of the Crown Jewels
Trinity
Wishbringer

The CD-ROM version included three additional games:

Arthur: The Quest for Excalibur
James Clavell's Shōgun
Journey

The package contains an instruction manual reprinting all of the games' manuals, as well as a few pack-in items from Sherlock and Trinity. However, it leaves out the InvisiClues hint booklets from the original games, replacing them instead with a card advertising a pay-per-minute hint line. The package also includes a coupon for the game Leather Goddesses of Phobos, which had not been included in either of the two collections.

The CD-ROM version includes an instruction manual with instructions for all three games, the Book of Hours pack-in from Arthur, and the maps from Journey and Shōgun.
