The 'Acme Interstellar Transport Company' is delivering spaceship kits to various planets in the solar system throughout the Galaxy; and as chief test pilot, all you have to do is assemble the Rockets, and thrust on to your next destination. As you don't often get the chance of a free trip across the Galaxy, this is a great opportunity to get rich! Stop off on several planets on your journey, collect the odd sack of precious gems, elements or gold, and take them back with you. Sounds simple doesn't it! But before you make yourself the richest person in the whole Universe, remember to refuel your Spaceship - with 6 fuel pods - every time you land on a planet. Any other goodies you collect are yours to keep. Upon landing, you will find yourself equipped with the very latest Hydrovac Jet Pac, which can automatically air lift almost any rocket stage, fuel pod or valuables that you care to land upon, and release them over the rocket ship base. Don't forget your mega-powerful, Quad Photon Laser Phasers can blast any nasty, mean aliens who might object to your visit.

Charlie the Chef keeps all the ingredients locked away in the pantry, only letting them out when he wants to cook them! Now this makes them jolly upset, let me tell you. So! As soon as they can, the ingredients dash out of the pantry dragging all the sorts of nasties, found in the bottom of drawers and cupboards, with them, to escape, and run wild. Poor old Charlie! He has to daze the ingredients with his flour bombs and knock them into the mixing bowl, because if they go into the dustbins they will be eaten by the bin monster, who doesn't care one little bit where he throws any rubbish. Should any rubbish or nasties get into the cake mix then the "ingredients needed" counter will change, and Charlie will have to work quicker and faster, if he's going to bake his cake.

The game is presented in a isometric format and is set on board a haunted galleon named the Blackwyche. Sir Arthur Pendragon's main objective is to free the soul of its former captain, Richard Cavendish. Pendragon can utilise various weapons such as knives, daggers and a magic sword to defend himself from enemy skeletons. The player begins the game with full energy and it will slightly deplete every time the player is hit by an enemy. If Pendragon completely runs out of energy, a large skeletal hand will drag the player off-screen, thus killing him. Various segments of maps are scattered around the galleon, which will form a complete view of the game's overworld once all the segments are picked up. Other scattered items in the game include keys for locked doors, gunpowder to fire cannons and pieces of jewellery, the latter having no additional use other than adding to the player's score.

Isometric adventure game by Ultimate using the Filmation II engine with scrolling backgrounds.

In the dark reaches of the Amobeus Nebula stands the isolated series of stars and planets, the Beta Gamma System. But to those who have taken the Space, the Zebarema. A tightly bound cluster of planets and dark stars, totally unique in the Whole Universe, bound together by a lattice of Plasmic Energy, extending between one and all Planets in the System. Each Planet is composed of Anti-element Cybertron, it is the only known source in the whole universe and such is its value that many such civilisations have devoted their entire resources to prying off one of the smaller outer planets from the main cluster, in a futile bid to gain access to the untold wealth it would bring, once free from its Anti-elemental Nest. For once the Cybertron is free from the Antiplasmic Lattice, and becomes exposed to positive matter Space, it crystallises to form Cybernite the hardest substance in the known Universe, resistant to all forms of heat and energy, allowing the wielders to mine the greatest form of energy ever, the stars. For who can control the Zebarema, can control the Galaxy. But the Beta Gamma system "Zebarema" is reluctant to give up its Cybernite Crystals and exerts an almost unbeatable magnetronic pull on all matter trying to escape its protective envelope. Thus the undertaking of construction of an enormous carrier of the precious Cargo, the Crystal Ship. Many years and many lives have been spent on this vast Space Sailer and the time draws near, for the ship's destined function, for only the Superlative Power of one such vessel can resist the magnetronic pull exerted by the system on any leaving body. Dut to its immense size, the ship has been constructed in stages which have already been shipped out to the Zebarema System. These propulsion units are of little use elsewhere in the Galaxy and have been constructed solely for the use as escape Engines and Auxiliaries which obey the strange plysical laws particular to the Beta Gamma System.

Once this is done five magic runes must be discovered and placed on the Pentagram to make it his. Pentagram is the final Sabreman Filmation title by Ultimate Play the Game, the gameplay and the isometric graphics are very similar to Knight Lore and Alien 8, with the addition that Sabreman can hurl magical projectiles at the denizens of the forest. The player must solve environmental puzzles to proceed and uncover objectives.

You and your team of archeologists have fallen into the "catacombs of the zombies." There's no time to look around; these guys are after you, and they mean business! Your only salvation is that you have discovered the secret to the "make-break." Grab them, and you can break through walls when you get stuck, or create a wall behind you - if you are being chased. The longer you survive, the faster you have to move. Explore alone, or two archeologists can work together or compete in a frenzied trek through the catacombs.

Although the third game in the Sabreman series, it was the first completed and withheld due to fears that sales of Sabre Wulf would be affected.
