Set several months after the events of the original game, the story follows the original crew of four adventurers from the previous title after landing in Lamini, who are now tasked by people of the island to send one of their crew to stop Lord Daggan inside his tower, after becoming enraged with the questioning of his doings. Initially released as a commercial title before becoming a shareware release for the Atari Falcon, Towers II: Plight of the Stargazer was later ported for the Atari Jaguar on December 10, 1996, becoming one of the last licensed releases by Telegames for the system after being discontinued by Atari Corporation, who merged with JT Storage in a reverse takeover. It later received a port for Windows that was co-published by Intermark Corporation and Telegames on November 1, 1997.
