My first impression is pretty negative. They all seem the type of games that on a virgin machine you might win a few quid but afterwards you could play for ages and win a quid at the most. The gameplay is pretty tedious.
Noughts and Crosses actually doesn't look that bad but once I got to the endgame the questions became impossible.

Noughts and Crosses - relatively easy to qualify for the end game but once there it seems like you need to answer 12-16 spoilers in a row to win a prize. It's impossible. No one will play this one.
Treasure Island - this could well provide the longest games in living memory! You have to navigate across an ocean picking up keys that open a certain number of treasure chests, each of which contains one of a certain number of gems, and you need to complete a set of gems to win the associated prize. However you need say 15 gems to win the top prize of ... £4! As I said it looks like it could be an incredibly tedious game. No one will play this one.
Raiders of the Lost Quiz - of the three this is the most promising, although that is starting from a VERY low base given the other two games! The gameplay - navigating up a set of hexagonal subjects to enter the end game then doing something similar within the end game itself - is very reminiscent of some of the earliest quiz games I ever played, such as Blockbusters. It seems to offer a reasonable chance to get a quid or two but clams up after that. A few people will play this one.
