If the menu is scripted, you can get to a game's original menu by pressing Alt and F5 (you can usually tell by games that use a different setup for the menu than the usual menus for a particular engine, like in Maniac Mansion for the NES).

You can't use the original menus for games with unscripted menus (eg: most of the SCUMM games [the ones that share a common menu layout]) because the game's script only gives the text inside the buttons and none of the actual graphics or layout (that's all hardcoded in the original executable).
