That is fantastic...and quite obviously not a coincidence, because they all happen to be lower case! Also in the big movie, snake has two eyes...although as said somewhere above...this could in fact be the mission he loses his eye! It cant be Solid Snake anyway...the ages wouldnt work out for MGS2 - i beleive Solid Snake was around 43 (is that right?) - which fits in perfectly with 1960...Maybe even this mission is when Big Boss dies and Solid Snake and Liquid Snake are cloned from him?

Edit : I was thinking (well just played the original), and i realised that MGS3 may be a re-make of the Original Nes game (or that Jungle section is a flash back of the Original Nes game?). Kojima said that the Jungle/Forrest setting will only last a part of the game, then you will have to infiltrate the base (this base could be Outer Heaven, like in the original).
If you have played the original, you will know that you get parachuted into the Jungle (like in the MGS3 trailer), and then in the Nes game you have to get through the Jungle, and infiltrate Outer Heaven. The only problem is, (that i cant understand), is that you play as Solid Snake...and when you use the Codec/Tranmission system, you are talking to Big Boss...(am i right there, i am sure you talk to Big Boss!) The rest of the Original consists of you finding Grey Fox, who has been captured, and to destroy the Metal Gear.

Off-Topic : Remember in MGS 1 you had to use the Nikita to destroy the electric control panel, so you could walk accross the electric floor? Well if you have played the Original, this exact section is in it, just thought i'd mention that, lol!
