Title: Which OSR has the best Viking class?

I'm reading a series of fantasy books about a man who dies and goes to the Norse afterlife. It's got me in the mood to play a Viking.

Now, I know what everyone's first choice is. Just play a barbarian. Then you can pick damn near any OSR game.

But, Shadowdark expansion book zines have an actual Viking class, called the Sea Wolf. It's in the third Zine.

I almost think that is the only time I've seen the Viking as a specific class. Again, everyone else is a generic barbarian.

Anybody else have Vikings?

Hyperborea has a designated Berserker class, but you'd probably be looking for the Runegraver, which is an expressly viking-themed cleric.
