Overview
The series focuses on SPECTEK, a team of diverse teens armed with ghost-catching technology, who, along with Sadie the Gorilla (the daughter of Tracy the Gorilla from The Ghost Busters and Filmation's Ghostbusters) and Belfry (who is the same character from Filmation's Ghostbusters despite the radically different design), investigate ghostly occurrences. At the start of each episode, the SPECTEK team would be sent to a mall to get their assignment from Master Zero, a paranormal expert (who is the unseen Zero from The Ghost Busters according to a 2015 interview with show writer Mick Neil). SPECTEK's headquarters is a haunted mansion named Berenbaum Mansion, nestled between a number of tall skyscrapers, and the SPECTEK team and Master Zero are supported by a number of secondary characters including Modeen (a wacky ghost similar to Flabber from Big Bad Beetleborgs), Telebone (a talking skull-shaped telephone), and the SPECTrekker, a technologically-advanced "buggy" car.

The SPECTEK team and Master Zero dedicate themselves to ridding the world of the ghostly creations of the evil mad scientist Dr. Haunt Bierkamp and his "revolving door gang" of ghosts and various other monster henchmen. Bierkamp's headquarters, termed the Bierkamp Building (which resembles the ) is located on a mysterious vine-covered mountain in the middle of the Mojave Desert.

Production
The initial range of toys for SPECTEK was recycled from ' toyline for Filmation's Ghostbusters (which Kenner's parent company had purchased many of the molds for the toyline in the early 90's from  (who bought Schaper in 1986) as an insurance claim). In 1995, founder, after hearing about the purchase of the molds from a student in an animation class he taught, approached Kenner about rebooting 's Ghostbusters property as a way to reuse the old Schaper Filmation's Ghostbusters toy molds (ironically Kenner had produced the toyline for The Real Ghostbusters).

However, midway through the talks in 1996, announced Extreme Ghostbusters (then named Super Ghostbusters), thus making any use of the old Filmation's Ghostbusters property not viable. Scheimer then chose to create an all-new property, and worked with Kenner, Claster Television, and CINAR/France Animation to create the SPECTEK concept.
