Actually, wasn't it that Solidus was the perfect clone, Solid was a clone made using BB's best genes, and Liquid was made using the left over genes.
At least that's the way I've seen it.
I think that is pretty accurate.

Well, I just read up on the game in the PSM I got a few weeks ago. I don't know why, but either the Olden Snake scares me or I just don't like his face. x_x He just looks... strange.
Older folk sure are scary.
Anyways, it's true that Snake is REALLY old to begin with. Be thankful he was able to keep his good looks as long as he did. NOw his body is breaking down, either from old age (he's not a natural born human, remember that too), or from the Foxdie in him. I'm actually surprised he could have lived this long with the virus, since Liquid, his genetic brother, "died" at the end of MGS1 (but lived on as an arm on ocelot).

I never played MG2. If you recall from the ending of Metal Gear Solid, Revolver Ocelot is talking with someone (I guess The Patriots or something) and makes mention that the weaker of the clones believes himself to be the strongest. Obviously, the only known clone left at this time is Solid. As Liquid fell victim to FoxDie
wasn't that Solidus Ocelot was speaking to? Am only going by what others have said when I say this though, since i never played it before.
-Continuing the Spoiler-
Ocelot tells [Person X] at the end of Metal Gear Solid that the weakest of the clones believes himself to be the strongest. Liquid, at the time, believed that that he was the weakest, made from the leftovers. He is bitter towards Solid. However, Ocelot explains that Solid Snake is the weakest of Les Enfant Terrible. Solidus, by my understand, is (yes) the strongest of the three.
As Solid Snake, Liquid Snake, and Solidus Snake are all clones (for lack of a better way of describing them) they would all have been as old as Big Boss. Kinda like with that sheep that was cloned. The clone was still as old as the original, or something to that effect.
EDIT
Here's the ending that we keep talking about, I found a script of Metal Gear Solid
