Which old console should I purchase?

Get the SNES. When you realize how many great games it has, you'll be overwhelmed. But then the SNES will come down, caress you, and tell you it's alright. And then you can play Final Fantasy 6, Chrono Trigger, etc. And you will grow to love it.

While normally I would agree with you, SO MANY of the NES/SNES/Genesis games are available on the Wii/DS that it makes a purchase of either a little redundant. If the OP doesn't have either a DS or Wii, I'd go for it, though.

If he does, I'd buy a Dreamcast. Several great games that aren't available anywhere else. If he wants to go really obscure, maybe a Saturn with Panzer Dragoon.
