Is Dark Conspiracy worth running or just tracking down the books? I've heard mixed things about the system but the setting seems pretty neat.

Hell yes, get the books and run it. I like 1st edition, but it is just a matter of taste. It's very easy to convert to any other system that can handle modern guns and weirdo creature abilities.
It's generally made for an investigative sort of game, but the setting is very rich. Everything went wrong in the 50s, so some bits of tech are stuck at a kind of diesel level, but other elements being futuristic.
The system shares a lot of blood with Twilight 2000, so it's super easy to run a sort of Roadside Picnic type of game too, scavenging in the Demonlands.
Here's a guide to the game, if you want to read a bit more about what books are out there and the system.

I never played the game but there was a really good online magazine called Protodimension that used to publish lots of stuff for Dark Conspiracy that apparently went under just a couple of months ago.

Correction: apparently the original publisher of Protodimension stepped down and the magazine is now being published as Dark Times so it's still technically active and, as ever, sustained by fan submissions so send stuff in if you've got it.
