- TRIVIA -
SWAT is an acronym for 'Special Weapons And Tactics'.
The police cruiser that appears in the ending of E-SWAT makes a cameo appearance in the 1991 Sega Genesis game "Streets of Rage". The car's main purpose on Streets of Rage was to assist Axel, Blaze and Adam (the heroes in Streets of Rage) by firing either rocket grenades, or napalm at the bad guys whenever it was needed (ironically, some of the people who worked on E-SWAT's such as Tinon, and Dolphin ended up working on Streets of Rage).
