Hey, some of those JumpStart games were pretty rad! Also Math Blaster and OutNumbered. And we can't forget the grandpappy of edutainment games, The Oregon Trail!
But your overall thrust is correct--in order to be a successful edutainment game, it has to be fun first, educational second. That doesn't have to be a distant second, but if it's not fun no amount of education you cram in there is ever gonna get conveyed anyway.
