I have a 9.9 nissan that I had when I was a kid. The thing ran like a champ and always started even after a year of non-use in two pulls.

Since I have grown up and it hasn't been started, kept in a garage for the most of the decade, what should I do before I try and start it?
 
Take out spark plugs and put a little oil in each cylinder. Rotate flywheel by hand to coat cylinder walls with the oil. Put new plugs in it and see if she fires up. Be carefull it doesn't overheat if you do get it started because I highly doubt the water pump impellar will still work.
