I searched for a demo using google and found several sites offering an old version of the game (ver 1.2. I guess - only English) for free (no warez site). Was this game once free or is the version here on GOG quite different or was this old version only an alpha release or sth. like this? Does anybody know?

From what I recall, that 1.2 version was most likely a demo of sorts for the game. I believe you can ask the user by the name of Treasure about it as he or she has mentioned that the demo or whatever it is works on their machine while the full game doesn't (it's related to XNA HiDef profile support IIRC).

Also there's this thread: https://www.gog.com/forum/hacknet/gogs_version_of_hacknet_says_no_suitable_graphics_card_found

Ah yes, that explains a lot. So basically it is a demo/alpha and probably will help to decide if the full version here something for me or not. Thank you for the quick anser.
That's correct, it was a alpha release (although the version number is 1.x).
You can still find them on IndieDB. :D http://www.indiedb.com/games/hacknet
