Track 3 is “What A Shame” (2.12 minutes). This is a funky instrumental, and is rather repetitive; not much fun to listen to at all.
Track 4 is the title track “Future Games” (8.15 minutes), another laid back epic, but much more lively than Track 1. The song features a great deal of variety, unlike Track 1 which does not. There is a sweet middle 8, with some harmonised vocals showcasing Bob Welch, going into a respectable Danny Kirwan guitar solo. In its later stages the piece brightens up considerably, becoming most vivacious, ending with a strong but pointless cadence. This would, I think, have marked the end of the first side of the LP.
