Game runs fine, but there is some bug with loading saved games, probably some processor instruction ... Saving works fine, because i check saved games they are different, but when i press load nothing happens and i'm back to a moment i was (like i press cancel)

A link for a game

I'm sure that's not a bug in game since i have also an old copy of that game i played years ago, wich worked fine on my old pc, and also like 2 years ago when i started windows in command prompt mode

Centuri0n : Zeliard is copyrighted to GameArts but published and distributed by Sierra in the West. Sierra distributed many of their earlier PC games.

It's copyrighted by Sierra also (1990). At least that what it says in the game itself.

That's how distributorship works. Sierra had the rights to the game in the West. That has since lapsed and now the original creators who initially developed the game Game Arts are it's true copyright owners. If they were to end up in court on opposing sides Game Arts could prove they were the initial developers and true owners of copyright using storyboards, animation frames, game level maps and so on - stuff that shows a history of the game development within Game Arts.
