You might look at "Rocky's Boots" (at <http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?id=2569>), and the related games "Gertrude's Secrets," "Robot Odyssey," and "Think Quick!" "Rocky's Boots" was a remarkably complex kids' game that had you building circuits to solve logic problems (and fight an alligator!)

Oh, and MIT worked on a project called the "Education Arcade," aka. "Games to Teach," trying to come up with some new ideas for working education into entertainment. See <http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2003/educade.html>.
