Comment:

 The intro plays correctly in ScummVM just like in the original, but the
 intro only plays the first time you run the game. The game script plays
 the intro, creates the file SWAT.DAT, and then uses that file to skip the
 intro on subsequent plays and go straight to main menu like you described.
 The file is in your ScummvM saved game directory and probably named
 pqswat-swat.dat. If you delete that file then the intro will play again,
 though you'll lose whatever else the game has stored in there. All of this
 is the same as in DOS.

 I've vowed to not fix daryl gates game bugs but I also don't want non-bugs
 to linger in the tracker, so re-open this and let us know if you're seeing
 something other than what I've described, and someone else can take a look
 =)
