The most kick ass fallout guide ever made imho.
How to finish the game in half an hour (if you hurry up)
Start a new character. Let's call him "Road Runner", 'cause this will be a fast one. Stats: good IN (but not 10), good AG and PE (for running from random encounters), not too lousy ST or CH, tag Speech, Steal and Barter. The rest doesn't matter. Run through the Temple of Trials as fast as you can, talk Cameron out of fighting. Leave Arroyo right away ("Meep meep!" Vrooom) and move due south-southeast. You should be able to run from anything you happen to encounter.
Once you arrive in San Fransisco at the bottom of the map, you must acquire some equipment: 10-17 Super Stimpaks, 2 Psycho and 1 Power Armor. To facilitate this, steal Gauss Rifles and H&K G11s from the guards in the shops and the punks on the tanker, also steal the money off the shopkeepers. You can steal Super Stimpaks from Dr Fung as well. The stores on the tanker have Super Stimpaks and Psycho. If the shops don't have what you want at first, rest 4 days then leave the map and return.
When you have the stuff go to the Steel Palace and kill Ken Lee using 10 Super Stimpaks. Go to the Hubologist base and the AHS-9. Now save, use the 2 Psycho (reloading if you get addicted), then talk to the AHS-9. Rest for six hours until your IN returns to normal and put a few of your many skill points into Speech. Go to the tanker and set off for the Enclave.
Take the stairs to the detention area (here you would be attacked if not for the Power Armor), go down again. Traverse the maze, going into the side room to the right for the G.E.C.K. and to the left for two Super Stimpaks if needed, then go down the stairs. Find the President, kill him with 7 Super Stimpaks (each of the guards nearby has one if you don't have enough), take the Presidential Access Key. Go to the stairs at the top of the map, go down, find the scientist at the bottom of this map, tell him to shut down the reactor, then go up, run to the newly opened emergency stairs, climb them, and leave the barracks to the west. Talk to Sergeant Granite until he agrees to take on Horrigan. Go west, keep to the bottom of the screen, use the computer and activate counter insurgency. Stand back and watch Horrigan get killed in a few turns by the turrets and soldiers. Open the door and step out. Finished!

But has anybody done this?
Not that I know of. Half an hour is possible, but only if all the odds are with you.

I once finished the game in 54 minutes using that guide. Takes most of the fun out of the game.

I've never beat it so quick. Does anyone have a record for most times beaten? I've beaten Fallout 1- 29 times, Fallout 2- 54 times, and FoT 33 times.

Yeah I did it in about 25-30 minutes with that guide.
The same for Fallout. The same guide with Fallout I did in 30 minutes.
Fallout 2 was much MUCH easier to beat in 30 minutes than Fallout, however.

Well, I'm not saying I don't believe you, but still: I'd love to see you do it in the above mentioned time. Temple of Trials + travelling to SF already took me more than ten minutes (probably quite more: when you meet an enclave patrol, there's no running away...). Second big problem was to get my hands on enough Super Stimpaks. Had to rest for 4 days quite often (like 5 or 6 times) before I had everything I looked for. Probably wasted the first full hour of gameplay before I left for the Enclave.
25-30 minutes, eh? I don't think it's doable.
