IIRC, his helmet face-shield always stays closed. Thanks for the pic. Deadly Towers in game form is quite lame, with a big blue blob of a character. The name Wizards and Warriors reminds me of another game with a name similar to that but I forget. I believe you played as an entire family of wizard-warriors, the parents and two kids? And you explored a whole big Metroid style world switching between them.
