Gameplay
The game involves piloting a small helicopter around a playfield. The player has to position the helicopter and drop a person suspended from the aircraft onto a hay bale or moving cart. If incorrectly timed, the person might fall onto the ground or injure the horse or the driver of the cart.
Legacy
After Blehm's death, his parents released his games and source code into the public domain.
MacAddict magazine used Stunt Copter to demonstrate software compatibility of Mac OS X public beta. An OS X version was released by Antell Software.
