Photograph of three East Asian id Software licensed products, taken by John Romero. Left to right: Taiwanese version of Doom distributed by licensee Kingformation Co., Ltd., Taiwanese version of Wolfenstein 3D, and Japanese version of Doom distributed by Imagineer Co., Ltd.

This in turn helped legitimize some of the companies involved, which went on to do other similar authorized projects for a variety of Western developers.
